To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
Any and all records (including but not limited to physical documents, emails, text messages, word processor files, PDF files, etc.) that discuss the decision by the Treasury Department and/or the Internal Revenue Service to include President Donald Trump's name on stimulus checks that the federal government plans to send to many Americans to stimulate the economy during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Specifically, I am searching for records that contain information about how the decision was reached to include President Trump's name on the stimulus checks.
I seek records that were created between March 23, 2020 and the date this FOIA request is processed (inclusive of those dates).
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Christopher Tidmarsh

Christopher Tidmarsh,
I received the attached correspondence from you. I have been sending you updates on this case to mailbox requests@muckrock.com<mailto:requests@muckrock.com> as indicated in your original request but the attached correspondence indicates you want correspondence to be sent to: requests@muckrock.com<mailto:requests@muckrock.com>
I believe you sent the same request to the IRS (me) and to Treasury. Treasury then referred the case to the IRS. I can use either mailbox, I just want to make sure you have been receiving the updates.
Please advise. You can also call me at the number below to discuss.
Thank you,

Hello Mr. McDade,
I apologize for not replying sooner. Either mailbox is fine with me. Maybe you can use the IRS mailbox, because Treasury referred the other request to the IRS.
I'm confused what you're asking. The email you told me you've been sending updates to is the same as the one I indicated I want updates sent to, according to the attached screenshot. Both of them appear as requests@muckrock.com on my screen. Is this correct?
In any case, I've been receiving updates from you for both requests I've filed, and I appreciate it. The reason you keep receiving reminder emails from me is because Muckrock (the service I use to file FOIA requests) often sends out automated reminder emails every once in a while to make sure the government agency is following up on my requests. I apologize if it's a bother to you at all.
Thanks so much for your help!
Sincerely,
Christopher Tidmarsh
