The IRS has launched a new online tool for those who are in line to receive a stimulus check.
The tool is called a ‘Simple Tax Return’, and was reported on at the end of the week. It’s geared toward those who fall into low-income categories, or aren’t qualified to file taxes under ordinary circumstances.
On the IRS website, you can click on “Non-filers: Enter Payment Info Here.” That takes you to the portal, where information is collected to ensure that stimulus checks are distributed.
If you filed a tax return in 2018 or 2019 — then you won’t need to fill out any additional forms. The checks are expected to drop in bank accounts within the next 7-10 days.
A letter will be sent to those who received them afterward confirming receipt. Individuals who make less than $75,000 will receive a check for $1,200. Couples who make less than $150,000 will receive checks for $2,400.
