E. Martin Davidoff was recently featured on Fox5 News DC’s The DMV Zone to address the October IRS “direct deposit stimulus” rumors. Here’s what he clarified:
• No new federal stimulus payments are scheduled to be issued.
• Viral claims of $1,390–$2,000 October deposits are false and likely part of phishing scams.
• The IRS is still issuing Recovery Rebate Credit payments for those who didn’t claim them in 2021—but any talk of new stimulus checks is misinformation.
Key takeaways from Davidoff’s segment:
• Don’t fall for misleading “stimulus” narratives circulating online.
• Always verify information through official IRS channels.
• Stay alert—scams often mimic legitimate IRS messaging to steal personal data.
