The IRS has released additional details regarding the COVID-19 stimulus checks.
Those that filed their 2018 or 2019 taxes and provided the IRS with their banking information could begin seeing the relief money in their accounts next week.
The IRS says if you don’t normally file taxes you should use the “Non-Filers: Enter Your Payment Info Here” application below to provide simple information so you can get your payment.
You should use this application if:
You did not file a 2018 or 2019 federal income tax return because your gross income was under $12,200 ($24,400 for married couples). This includes people who had no income. Or
You weren’t required to file a 2018 or 2019 federal income tax return for other reasons
If you receive these benefits, we already have your information and you will receive $1,200. Do not use this application if you receive:
Social Security retirement, disability (SSDI), or survivor benefits
Railroad Retirement and Survivor Benefits
Special note: People in these groups who have qualifying children under age 17 can use this application to claim the $500 payment per child.
