Has anybody heard about $1390 stimulus checks that are supposed to be issued by IRS in August or September? There was an announcement on several outlets last week but I looked on IRS website and see zilch.  Supposedly this stimulus will impact low and medium income taxpayers.

If you mean on social media outlets, it's definitely not true. 😄

I read 2 newspapers a day. Haven't read a thing.

I find that info highly suspicious.  Can't imagine why the IRS would be sending out stimulus checks.  They are a tax collection agency.  The Fed Govt has sent out checks before but can't remember the IRS ever doing that.

@patbz     have not heard a thing by what I consider a reputable source

According to Snopes, pure fantasy.

I listen to multiple network news casts and read Facebook all da6 long and have never heard such a rumor. I feel sure it's not true. I wouldn't go shopping thinking it might be coming.

Definitely not happening.  It was an idea floated in response to tariff questions, but it was a vague statement at best. 

Some states are sending out stimulus checks.  We're supposed to get $400 here in NY, but it's ok if we don't get it.

Colorado issues refunds for excess revenue generated by sales tax. Inflation and population growth govern how much the amounts total each year. It's a significant amount for each citizen.

@Tori3569   in New York I think you are getting checks as a refund for over payment.  It's not stimulus. That's a good thing.

I heard rumours of this but I can't find anything factual to this.  It would be nice though.
