I was trying to file my taxes for 2019 with zero balance in order to apply for corona virus stimulus payment all that before turbo tax allowed me to mention that i am not meeting the minimum requirements to submit taxes for 2019 ,now when i try to use this porter that exempt me from filing 2019 taxes i get this message "Hi Sameh, we've sent your info to the IRS to process your stimulus payment" ,however my filing was not complete as i have to complete the process via Mail.

Now they don't have my bank info ,my question should i make a new account to use the 2019 exemption porter ?or should i delete my existing account and start new one with different email?

please i need advice

These links may help explain and guide you through the process.

https://turbotax.intuit.com/stimulus-check/ link to stimulus registration (SR). It is very important that you uses this link that says register now if you don't need to file taxes this year. Otherwise, you will not be able to E-file a zero return. It also has the calculator.

The IRS says it is working on developing a web-based system for people to give the government their direct-deposit information. Keep checking www.irs.gov/coronavirus for more details on this.

My father apparently claimed me as a dependent for 2019 But he kicked me out in march before my 18th birthday. Not to mention didnt spend anything because I had a job. I'm now 19 living on my own and cannot go to work because of covid-19. I need this stimulus check bad. What do I do?

File your 2019 tax return if you want to be eligible for the stimulus payment.

You can contact the IRS to report the suspected tax fraud.  See the following link on instructions on how to report the questionable activity.

Reporting Tax fraud to the IRS

You can try to use the following link to register for the stimulus payment but you may get a rejection message if you were listed as a dependent on another tax return.

IRS Non-Filers Payment info portal

If that does not work, the only remedy you may have at this point is to file a tax return for 2020 even if you were not required to file. You will be asked for the amount of the stimulus payment you received versus the amount you actually received. If the amount received is lower than what you were entitled to, you will be given a credit on your 2020 tax return.

My grandson did not get a stimulus check in the spring of 2020 when everyone got one. He had been filing his own taxes for two years and on his own providing more than half his own support during 2019, but since his parents had claimed him as a dependent in 2018 and his taxes in 2019 were mailed in instead of being electronically filed somehow he was skipped over on the issusing of a stimulus check. I had a tax accountant that said don't worry you can claim it on your 2020 taxes as a credit but I fail to see where that will be claimed.

@rothchr Line 30 of a 2020 Form 1040 is where your grandson can indicate that he should receive the stimulus check since he did not receive it yet. His mailed in amended return may still be in the pile of millions of unopened envelopes. It is taking the IRS over six months to process amended returns.

As you complete the federal review look for this screen ... this is where you will let the IRS know how much of the stimulus check you have already gotten ( if any) ...
