After concerns that non-filers could be left out of the $1,200 federal coronavirus relief checks, the IRS has set up a website to help.
The government plans to primarily use prior tax filings to determine eligibility and where to send federal coronavirus relief payments. But some individuals, including those on disability benefits, pensions or survivor benefits, don't file taxes annually.
The stimulus relief payments are about $1,200 for those whose taxable income is lower than $75,000 and were approved under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act passed by Congress and signed into law by the president last month.
The IRS has set up a site for those veterans, family members, and other non-filers to go and enter their direct-deposit information so they can receive their payments directly to their bank accounts.
Non-filers can visit the website, where they can fill out information including name, address, email, date of birth, Social Security number, banking information and more.
Visitors can cick the "Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info Here" button on that page to be taken to a Free File Fillable Forms site, a "certified IRS partner" that is "safe and secure," according to the IRS.
