The fact that Stimulus checks in most states will be subject to judgment liens and other collection measures of creditors, is not alone a reason to file bankruptcy. However, those dependent on the stimulus check to make ends meet that also have other debt issues should talk to a bankruptcy attorney about their alternatives.

Besides the obvious question of when will this end, the second question that we have been hearing is: How does being divorced affect your stimulus check: to summarize: If you claimed the kids in 2018, you will get the stimulus amount allotted for the kids.

"The IRS is taking extraordinary steps to help the people of our country," said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. "In addition to extending tax deadlines and working on new legislation, the IRS is pursuing unprecedented actions to ease the burden on people facing tax issues. During this difficult time, we want people working together, focused on their well-being, helping each other and others less fortunate." "The new IRS People First Initiative provides immediate relief to help... people facing uncertainty over taxes," Rettig added "We are temporarily adjusting our processes to help people and businesses during these uncertain times. We are facing this together, and we want to be part of the solution to improve the lives of all people in our country." These new changes include issues ranging from postponing certain payments related to Installment Agreements and Offers in Compromise to collection and limiting certain enforcement actions. The IRS will be temporarily modifying the following activities as soon as possible; the projected start date will be April 1 and the effort will initially run through July 15. During this period, to the maximum extent possible, the IRS will avoid in-person contacts. However, the IRS will continue to take steps where necessary to protect all applicable statutes of limitations.

The Tax Foundation estimates that 93.6 percent of tax filers will get a check. It's unclear how the bill will deal with those who do not file taxes, but experts recommend quickly filing for 2019 even for those who owe the government nothing.
