With the IRS beginning the distribution of the economic impact payments, also known as “stimulus checks”, it’s important to remember that the IRS will not call you to ask for any personal account information. The banking information they need to process these payments via direct deposit will be based off your most recent tax filing. Do not give out your banking or account information over the phone!
