A heads up in case some of your clients start seeing these letters:

 

The IRS will begin mailing letters to approximately 9 million Americans who typically don’t file federal income tax returns who may be eligible for, but have not registered to claim an Economic Impact Payment.

 

The letters will urge recipients to register at IRS.gov by Oct. 15 in order to receive their payment by the end of the year. Individuals can receive up to $1,200, and married couples can receive up to $2,400. People with qualifying children under age 17 at the end of 2019 can get up to an additional $500 for each qualifying child.

 

The letters are being sent to people who haven’t filed a return for either 2018 or 2019. Based on an internal analysis, these are people who don’t typically have a tax return filing requirement because they appear to have very low incomes, based on Forms W-2, 1099s and other third-party statements available to the IRS. But many in this group are still eligible to receive an Economic Impact Payment. The news release also contains a link as to what the letter will look like.
