Tax relief checks, also referred to as stimulus checks, are government-issued disbursements that have been enacted by federal law to aid American citizens during the recession in addition to their income tax funds. Tax relief checks are usually issued to those who meet the minimum stimulus requirements as a result of their tax return filing. Anyone who qualifies should check the status of the additional check.
