On Friday, April 17, 2020, The Associated Press reported on stories circulating online incorrectly asserting that one can call a 1-800 number and enter your social security number to check on the status of the relief check the federal government is sending as part of the $2.2 trillion economic recovery bill in response to the coronavirus. The IRS isn’t currently accepting calls by phone because of the coronavirus. The IRS has warned Americans of scam artists who might try to swindle you out of your relief check through fraudulent emails, text messages, websites or social media posts that request your banking or personal information.
