The IRS released an online form that allows Americans to upload their bank account information so they can get coronavirus stimulus payments quickly.
The new IRS website also allows Americans to check the status of their cash payment by inputting their Social Security number, date of birth and mailing address.
The paper checks will include President Donald Trump's name in the memo line, a Treasury Department spokeswoman said. The extraordinary move breaks with precedent when it comes to such payments and indicates that Trump wants Americans to associate him with the cash transfers — which were passed by Congress — as he gears up for re-election this fall.
