This payment is from the federal government and is sometimes referred to as a “stimulus payment.” These payments are automatic for most taxpayers who meet the income guidelines. No further action is needed by taxpayers who filed tax returns in 2018 and 2019, including most seniors and retirees. No State or federal taxes will be taken out of your stimulus check, and any stimulus money received does not affect your 2020 tax return.

New Jersey cannot provide any information about the amount, eligibility, or when you may receive a payment. Please visit the IRS website for more information.
