Tax experts urge Congress to redesign coronavirus rebate checks
Tax experts are urging lawmakers to make changes to the coronavirus rebate checks being considered by Senate Republicans.
Economic policy analysts at think tanks have flagged several aspects of the checks proposal that they think are problematic, including the fact that the lowest income people wouldn't qualify for the full amount of the checks, and that the check amounts that people would receive in the near-term are based on their 2018 income.
As Republicans and Democrats race to reach a deal, experts hope that improvements will be made to any rebates proposal included in the final package so that it better helps low-income people.
"We would recommend writing a more broadly based rebate," said Garrett Watson, a senior policy analyst at right-leaning Tax Foundation.

That's just how Republicans like it.
