The IRS has stated that as of 8/19/2020 most people have received their Economic Impact or stimulus Payment. This includes eligible taxpayers who filed a 2019 or 2018 tax return and those who usually do not have to file but receive Social Security, SSI, RRB or VA benefits.

How do I get stimulus check if I didn’t file taxes 2018?

Will you get a stimulus if you didn’t file taxes?

The answer is yes, and no. If you can’t file your 2020 tax return by 17 May, you can ask for an automatic tax filing extension to buy time until 15 October. This will give you more time but delay any payment that you could receive. Regardless, you will have to file to get any stimulus money that might be due to you.

What do I do if I didn’t receive my stimulus check?

If it has been weeks since the Get My Payment tool says the payment was mailed, and you haven’t received it, you can request a payment trace. The IRS will research what happened to your check; if the check wasn’t cashed, you will need to claim the “Recovery Rebate Credit” (RRC) on your next tax return.
