Similar to the 2008 recovery rebates, these payments are structured as tax credits advanced to households that file an income tax return. Taxpayers that filed a 2018 income tax return would have this credit advanced to them in 2020, generally in the form of a direct deposit or check by mail. Thus, these taxpayers do not need to wait until 2020 tax returns are filed in 2021 to claim the credit. If they did not file a 2018 return, information from a 2019 return can be used for the advanced credit. These payments are intended to broadly stimulate the economy in response to concerns about an economic slowdown stemming from the COVID- 19 pandemic. This Insight provides a brief overview of the proposed 2020 recovery rebates, with several simplified examples to illustrate payment amounts for different families. Calculating the Credit Amount The credit equals the greater of 1. the taxpayer's net income tax liability up to S 1,200 ($2,400 for married joint filers). Net income tax liability is the taxpayer's income tax liability before the child tax credit and refundable tax credits (like the EITC); or 2. $600 ($1,200 for married joint filers) if the taxpayer has qualifying income. For the purposes of the basic credit, qualifying income is either (a) at least $2,500 of earned income, social security income, or veterans' benefits; or (b) gross income above the standard deduction and $I of net income tax liability. All eligible taxpayers would receive the minimum basic credit of $600 ($1,200 married joint filers). Taxpayers eligible for the credit can receive an additional $500 for each child that qualifies for the child tax credit.
