  • If you do not have a 2018 or 2019 tax return filed with the IRS you should file as soon as possible before they start issuing the checks.
  • If your 2018 and/or 2019 income is over the limits but your 2020 income has dropped due to this epidemic you will get a refund on your 2020 taxes making up the difference for what you should of received.
  • People who have no income or are not required to file due to income being to low are recommended to file a return with at least $1.00 on it to qualify to receive their stimulus check.
