The Stimulus
In January, Congress approved $152 billion in economic stimulus checks for millions of American households, intended to boost the economy and avert a recession. Just how this money will be spent remains to be seen. We hope this website helps shed some light on where the stimulus money is going.

Please accept my condolences. It's always hard to lose a loved one, and the financial headaches come at a really terrible time.
Did you remember to file taxes for your mother? That will keep the IRS happy, and should also result in a stimulus check for her estate.

Sorry to hear of your loss.

I was sorry to hear of your loss. When I lost my mom, I had to file two income tax forms: one for the part of the year she lived (her investments) and one at the end of the year (in case any other income was received. Don't forget to re-key the house, if she had one, and work closely with your lawyer. And don't forget to close her credit cards. It took me four months and I finally retired from work to handle the "paper chase". Though this was not the only reason.
Again my condolences.
