Formula
Base Payment = $1,200 (single/head) or $2,400 (married)
Dependent Payment = Number of Dependents × $1,200
Total Payment = Base + Dependents - Phase-out Reduction
Phase-out Thresholds (HEROES Act - Proposed):
• Single: $75,000 - $99,000 AGI
• Married: $150,000 - $198,000 AGI
• Head of Household: $112,500 - $136,500 AGI
Example Calculation:
Single filer, $60,000 AGI, 2 dependents:
• Base payment = $1,200
• Dependent payment = 2 × $1,200 = $2,400
• Total payment = $1,200 + $2,400 = $3,600
