The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has extended the deadline to register for your stimulus check to November 21
The Instructions On How To Get Your Check Are In The Mail The IRS is also mailing letters to roughly nine million Americans who have been identified as potential check recipients but did not have a requirement to file a tax return in 2018 or 2019 because of their income levels.
The information is based on an internal analysis of forms, like Forms W-2, 1099s, and other third-party statements sent to the IRS each year but have not been matched with tax returns. Typically, this means those Americans who have an annual income of $24,400 or less for married couples and $12,200 or less for single folks. The letters are officially known as IRS Notice 1444-A and will be sent out in English and Spanish. The letter advises non-filers that they should register at IRS.gov by the deadline to receive a check by the end of the year. If you miss the date, you will have to wait until next year and claim the credit on your 2020 federal income tax return to receive a check. “Time is running out for those who don’t normally file a tax return to get their payments,” Rettig added. “Registration is quick and easy, and we urge everyone to share this information to reach as many people before the deadline.”The extension for registering for a stimulus check DOES NOT change the deadline to file your federal income tax return on extension. That remains October 15, 2020, the same deadline to file a federal income tax return on extension in any normal year. The IRS normally gives you six months from the due date to get your tax return in if you file for an extension. This year, because of COVID, the due date wasnot April 15. But the request for extension starts ticking from the original due date and not the revised due date . That means that all individuals must file their federal income tax returns on extension on or before October 15 even if you made the request to extend in July.
