Based on income in what year? 2018? 2019? 2020? Are they going to spend time making the calculations first and then send the checks, which would seem to be inefficient? Or are they just going to send everyone the checks and then require repayment when taxes are filed next year? Past income would seem to be irrelevant to people who have lost or about to lose income in 2020.

I read a few articles where it will be based on 2018, which makes sense, because 2019 tax filings are not due until July some time. One report said, it will be based on 2018 and 2019 filings. They are still hammering out all the details, so we should all know the official criteria shortly.
