Best Columns: Stimulating mess, Model rock

If you haven

Waiting to be stimulated

If you haven’t received your economic stimulus check, or you think you didn’t get enough, you’re not alone, says Tom Herman in The Wall Street Journal. “Tens of millions of Americans have been flooding the Internal Revenue Service with questions” about their checks. “So where’s the money?” Well, the schedule for sending out checks is based on returns processed, not received, by April 15, so if you filed last minute, you’ll have to wait a bit. If you’re a parent who didn’t receive $300 for each eligible kid, you or your accountant probably missed checking a box—the IRS is aiming to send out some 230,000 checks in mid-July. And if you earn $75,000 or more—$150,000 for a couple—you won’t get the full amount.
