    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the

SECTION 1. ADDITIONAL 2020 RECOVERY REBATES FOR INDIVIDUALS.

amended by inserting after section 6428 the following new section:

``SEC. 6428A. ADDITIONAL 2020 RECOVERY REBATES FOR INDIVIDUALS.

    ``(a) In General.--In addition to the credit allowed under section 
6428, in the case of an eligible individual, there shall be allowed as 
a credit against the tax imposed by subtitle A for the first taxable 
year beginning in 2020 an amount equal to the sum of--
            ``(1) $2,000 ($4,000 in the case of eligible individuals 
        filing a joint return), plus
            ``(2) an amount equal to the product of $600 multiplied by 
        the number of qualifying children (within the meaning of 
        section 24(c)) of the taxpayer.
    ``(b) Treatment of Credit.--The credit allowed by subsection (a) 
shall be treated as allowed by subpart C of part IV of subchapter A of 
chapter 1.
    ``(c) Limitation Based on Adjusted Gross Income.--The amount of the 
credit allowed by subsection (a) (determined without regard to this 
subsection and subsection (e)) shall be reduced (but not below zero) by 
5 percent of so much of the taxpayer's adjusted gross income as 
exceeds--
            ``(1) $150,000 in the case of a joint return or a surviving 
        spouse (as defined in section 2(a)),
            ``(2) $112,500 in the case of a head of household (as 
        defined in section 2(b)), and
            ``(3) $75,000 in the case of a taxpayer not described in 
        paragraph (1) or (2).
    ``(d) Eligible Individual.--For purposes of this section, the term 
`eligible individual' means any individual other than--
            ``(1) any nonresident alien individual,
            ``(2) any individual with respect to whom a deduction under 
        section 151 is allowable to another taxpayer for a taxable year 
        beginning in the calendar year in which the individual's 
        taxable year begins, and
            ``(3) an estate or trust.
    ``(e) Coordination With Advance Refunds of Credit.--
            ``(1) In general.--The amount of the credit which would 
        (but for this paragraph) be allowable under this section shall 
        be reduced (but not below zero) by the aggregate refunds and 
        credits made or allowed to the taxpayer under subsection (f). 
        Any failure to so reduce the credit shall be treated as arising 
        out of a mathematical or clerical error and assessed according 
        to section 6213(b)(1).
            ``(2) Joint returns.--Except as otherwise provided by the 
        Secretary, in the case of a refund or credit made or allowed 
        under subsection (f) with respect to a joint return, half of 
        such refund or credit shall be treated as having been made or 
        allowed to each individual filing such return.
    ``(f) Advance Refunds and Credits.--
            ``(1) In general.--Each individual who was an eligible 
        individual for such individual's first taxable year beginning 
        in 2019 shall be treated as having made a payment against the 
        tax imposed by chapter 1 for such taxable year in an amount 
        equal to the advance refund amount for such taxable year.
            ``(2) Advance refund amount.--For purposes of paragraph 
        (1), the advance refund amount is the amount that would have 
        been allowed as a credit under this section for such taxable 
        year if this section (other than subsection (e) and this 
        subsection) had applied to such taxable year. For purposes of 
        determining the advance refund amount with respect to such 
        taxable year--
                    ``(A) any individual who was deceased before 
                January 1, 2020, shall be treated for purposes of 
                applying subsection (g) in the same manner as if the 
                valid identification number of such person was not 
                included on the return of tax for such taxable year, 
                and
                    ``(B) no amount shall be determined under this 
                subsection with respect to any qualifying child of the 
                taxpayer if--
                            ``(i) the taxpayer was deceased before 
                        January 1, 2020, or
                            ``(ii) in the case of a joint return, both 
                        taxpayers were deceased before January 1, 2020.
            ``(3) Timing and manner of payments.--
                    ``(A) Timing.--
                            ``(i) In general.--The Secretary shall, 
                        subject to the provisions of this title, refund 
                        or credit any overpayment attributable to this 
                        subsection as rapidly as possible.

                with respect to any possession of the United States, 
                the income tax system of such possession if the income 
                tax liability of the residents of such possession under

        by reason of section 6428A(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 
        1986 (as added by this section), or any such refund payable by 
        reason of subsection (c) of this section, shall not be--

                applicable payment shall not be transferable or 
                assignable, at law or in equity, and no applicable 
                payment shall be subject to, execution, levy,

                        identifier that is reasonably sufficient to 
                        allow a financial institution to identify the 
                        payment as an applicable payment, and
