The vast majority of people do not need to take any action. The IRS will calculate and automatically send the economic impact payments to those eligible.
- Anyone with a tax filing obligation who has not yet filed a tax return for 2018 or 2019 should file as soon as they can to receive an economic impact payment.
IF YOU STILL NEED TO FILE, USE:
e-File
Taxpayers and tax professionals are encouraged to file electronically.
Free File
Use IRS Free File if your adjusted gross income is $69,000 or less.
Direct Deposit*
Combining direct deposit with electronic filing is the fastest way to receive your refund.
* The economic impact payment will be deposited directly into the same bank account reflected on the return filed.
