WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s name will be printed on the stimulus checks that the IRS will be sending to tens of millions of Americans around the country, an unprecedented move finalized this week. It marks the first time a president’s name has appeared on any IRS payments, whether refund checks or other stimulus checks that have been mailed during past economic crises. “Economic Impact Payment checks are scheduled to go out on time and exactly as planned — there is no delay whatsoever,” Treasury’s statement said. The checks will carry a signature of an official from the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, the Treasury division that prints the checks. Earlier this month, Trump denied wanting to sign the checks when he was asked about published reports stating the opposite.
