Taxpayers can find the amounts of their 2020 economic impact payments (EIPs) from their online account, IRS Notices 1444 and 1444-B, or their 2020 account transcript. A new IRS FAQ explains the procedure for requesting a trace to track a missing payment when the taxpayer’s online account shows a first or second EIP the taxpayer did not receive.

The Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and the Treasury  issued a set of FAQson health plans’ coverage of OTC COVID-19 tests in view of President Biden’s actions and ACA, FFCRA, and CARES Act requirements. In general, health plans and issuers must cover the cost of or reimburse participants for OTC rapid COVID-19 tests.
