  • IRS debuts free online tool for people who don't file taxes

    On Friday, the IRS debuted a free online tool so people who don't file taxes can speed up their stimulus payment.

    The tool is available to people who didn't have a tax liability in 2018 or 2019, veterans beneficiaries, and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients.

    The tool asks for payment information, Social Security number, mailing address, date of birth, and number of qualifying children in order to create and submit a simple tax return.

    Who is eligible for the Economic Impact Payment?

    U.S. citizens or resident aliens who:

    •Have a valid Social Security number,
    •Could not be claimed as a dependent of another taxpayer, and
    •Had adjusted gross income under certain limits.

    Who will receive the Economic Impact Payment automatically without taking additional steps?

    Most eligible U.S. taxpayers will automatically receive their Economic Impact Payments including:

    •Individuals who filed a federal income tax for 2018 or 2019
    •Individuals who receive Social Security retirement, disability (SSDI), or survivor benefits
    •Individuals who receive Railroad Retirement benefits

    Who should use Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info to provide additional information to receive the Economic Impact Payment?

    Eligible U.S. citizens or permanent residents who:

    •Had gross income that did not exceed $12,200 ($24,400 for married couples) for 2019
    •Were not otherwise required to file a federal income tax return for 2019, and didn't plan to

    You can provide the necessary information to the IRS easily and quickly for no fee through Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info. We will use this information to determine your eligibility and payment amount and send you an Economic Impact Payment. After providing this information you won’t need to take any additional action.

    New IRS Site Could Make It Easy For Thieves To Intercept Some Stimulus Payments

    The U.S. federal government is now in the process of sending Economic Impact Payments by direct deposit to millions of Americans. Most who are eligible for payments can expect to have funds direct deposited into the same bank accounts listed on previous years tax filings sometime next week.

    Yesterday, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) stood up a site to collect bank account information from the many Americans who don’t usually file a tax return. The question is, will those non-filers have a chance to claim their payments before fraudsters do?
