News from the The IRS & Treasury Department
The IRS and Treasury Department announced an update on April 1, 2020. Social Security beneficiaries who are not typically required to file tax returns will not need to file an abbreviated tax return to receive an Economic Impact Payment. Instead, the IRS will use form SSA-1099 and Form RRB-1099 to generate a $1,200 Economic Impact Payment. (For these people that were not required to file a tax return in 2018 or 2019, the payment will automatically be issued and received by mail or direct deposit according to the method they receive their benefit.) Check out the link to their press release below (https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sm967).
What About Beneficiaries with Qualifying Children under 17 years of age?
The Social Security Administration issued a News Release April 10, 2020. People who receive Social Security retirement, survivors, or disability insurance benefits and who did not file a tax return for 2018 or 2019 and who have qualifying children under age 17 should now go to the IRS’s webpage (SEE BELOW: www.irs.gov/coronavirus/economic-impact-payments) to enter their information instead of waiting for their automatic $1,200 Economic Impact Payment. If Social Security beneficiaries in this group do not provide their information to the IRS soon, they will have to wait to receive their $500 per qualifying child.
