This IRS continues its efforts to reach taxpayers who aren’t required to file a tax return but may be eligible for an Economic Impact Payment of $1,200 or more. These individuals need to use a special Non-Filers tool on IRS.gov before the Oct. 15, 2020 deadline. Possible non-filer groups include:
- Lower-income households without a filing requirement
- Individuals with income below $12,200
- Married couples with income below $24,400
- Part-time workers
- Self-employed individuals
- People who work in the gig economy
- Students who can’t be claimed as dependents on someone else’s tax return
