The Treasury Department and IRS launched a tool designed to ensure that people who don’t normally file tax returns won't miss out on upcoming economic stimulus payments
Friday designed to ensure that people who don’t normally file tax returns won't miss out on upcoming economic stimulus payments.
The agency said it developed the tool with the Free File Alliance, a group of companies that provides free tax filing software to lower-income Americans under an agreement with the IRS. Not all nonfilers will have to use the online tool. Those who receive Social Security retirement or disability benefits or Railroad Retirement benefits will get their payments automatically, the IRS said.
People in those groups can either use the tool that went online today or wait to see if the IRS comes up with automatic payment options, the agency said.
