I may have misunderstood the IRS (shocker!) but how I understood this to be was the tax laws were changing next year and most people within the income brackets of this would have received the $300/$600 $600/$1200 amount in their refund next year, so instead they gave it out early as a "stimulus package".

LB was asking if the government just gifted us money.
