How much are you eligible to receive?

Most people who earn under a certain amount will receive a non-taxable payment of $600. Full payments will go to those who meet the following thresholds for adjusted gross income: $75,000 for single filers, $112,500 for heads of household, and $150,000 for those married filing jointly.

Tax filers will also receive $600 for each dependent under age 17, and there's no cap on the number a household can receive, according to the Tax Foundation.
