About 92-thousand Iowans should be getting those much-debated tax relief checks in the mail this week.The Internal Revenue Service is in its second week of mailing out the checks, according to I-R-S spokesman Eric Smith. He says they’re averaging more than 400-dollars per check in Iowa.This latest batch returns about 40-million dollars to 92-thousand Iowans. The previous week saw 89-thousand checks to Iowans totaling 38-million dollars. The tax relief checks have become subject of much political debate. So far, Smith knows of no one who’s sent their check back. If you don’t want the check, he suggests the Bureau of Public Debt which works to reduce the national debt. At the end of the ten-week mailing, more than 900-thousand checks will have been mailed to Iowans.
