How does the IRS determine whether you are receiving a payment and the amount you receive? The government will use 2019 tax returns to set the payment amounts and 2018 tax returns if the individual has not filed yet for 2019. So these individuals may not need to file tax returns to claim this payment.

Will I get a 600 stimulus check if I filed in 2018?
