The rules changed yesterday. Originally, the IRS said that seniors who typically don't have to file a tax return would still get a check based on their social security benefits. This is no longer the case. If you haven't filed a tax return for 2018 or 2019 because your income
was low and filing wasn't required, you do need to file now.
People who typically do not file a tax return will need to file a simple tax return to receive an economic impact payment. Low-income taxpayers, senior citizens, Social Security recipients, some veterans and individuals with disabilities who are otherwise not required to file a tax return will not owe tax.
The IRS will soon provide information instructing people in these groups on how to file a 2019 tax return with simple, but necessary, information including their filing status, number of dependents and direct deposit bank account information.
