Anybody have answers about this economic stimulus thing?
-I looked at the payment schedule, and based on that I should get some money by May 9th. But then they started sending payments out a week early- will the rest of the direct deposits be ahead of schedule?

-I can't see any mention of how Head of Household filers are treated, all I see is mention of single and married people. Does anybody know if there's some change to the base amount for people who file HoH?

-Is there a status check thing similar to "where's my refund?" or do I just have to watch the account that receives my direct deposits?

1. ...
Did you go to irs.gov? They have a calculator (or whatever they call it) and it asks what your filing status was and a few other questions about your return. It will calculate how much you should get and when.

3. Heads of household are like single people, I think
But that depends on how much your dependents made (if anything). The above poster has a great link to do the calculation and the rest sorta falls into fed serendipity. What are your plans for the $$?

4. bills, and airfare
Nothing exciting.

No worries about the dependent, his main source of income is the tooth fairy.
