I didn't get a package, but I did get a notice in the mail that I should be expecting a check in May.
Absolutely.
If people are worried about scams, just be wary of any third party company (aside from a well known tax preparer outfit, and only then if you're 100% positive that is who you're dealing with, i.e. go down to the HR Block location) that is offering to somehow streamline the process for you.
You can't get the rebate until you file. And you don't have to have any special form or give any information to anyone for the rebate outside of your 1040 that you file with IRS.
And the IRS isn't going to call you for anything. Ever.
They send letters and it takes them months to do it.
There are certainly a lot of misconceptions on this thread. Here are a few facts.
1. Congress authorized social security recipients and VA eligibility disabled veterans who do not ordinarily file a return to get part of the stimulus package. Ordinarily one would need to file a return to get the rebate, however, the IRS is sending a form to all the aforementioned, so they can claim their rebate.
2. I have not seen the form, but I understand it has been mailed, and I suspect the questions will include personal information, such as SSN, income, banking data, etc. There should be an envelope with an IRS addressed on it. This will go to the IRS, so it should be relatively safe.
3. The IRS wants bank information so they can direct deposit the rebate. Don't provide it and the IRS will mail you a check. Your call.
4. The IRS goes not call or email anyone. If you receive a call or email, it is a phishing expedition, and do not respond. It is a SCAM.
5. If you earn more than $3,000, or qualify as a disabled vet or SSI recipient, you will get a rebate. I don't think people drawing disability through social security will get a rebate, but I could be wrong.
6. The rebate is $600 per adult, and $300 per dependent child under age 17. If you have a college aged child who is still listed as a dependent, that dependent will not get a check.

a fact from where that the IRS needs your account info? according to IRS if you recieved your return direct deposit this is the only way you will get the stimulis check direct deposit, seems like you are steering people wrong unless the IRS is putting out wrong info
this is from the IRS website
"If you qualify, the IRS will automatically figure it and send it to you. The IRS will also send you a notice showing the amount of your payment. You do not need to call the IRS or fill out any other special forms"
I am talking about those who receive the IRS letter because they are not required to file. The IRS already has that information from those who filed. Unless you have (or will) file your return by April 15, the IRS will not have the information available for direct deposit. Those who owed money, or received their refund via mail or went through a tax service for their refund, will receive their checks in the mail.
