In case you didn’t know (I didn’t know about this being approved until the last week), here’s the breakdown for Single (Head of Household) with Children.

Single (Head of Household) with Children

In most cases, payments will range from $300 to $600 for individuals and $600 to $1200 for joint filers. Taxpayers may receive $300 for each qualifying child. Payments could be less, depending on tax liabilty and Adjusted Gross Income. Phaseout reduction begins at $75,000 for single filers and $150,000 for joint filers.
