Yes, you can file a tax form for 2013, but if you have a refund from that year, you will not receive the refund.

 

Also you would need to find a tax program from 2013 to prepare your return.

 

The IRS only issues refunds for the current year and 3 prior years.

It will not slow your stimulus payment, if you are entitled to one. If you owed, you will be expected to pay what you owe. As stated above, you will not get a refund for a return that far in the past.

 

If you have income for 2018 or 2019, you should file for the stimulus. If you don't follow the steps below.

 

 

Non-Filers: Enter Your Payment Info Here

If you don’t file taxes, use the "Non-Filers: Enter Your Payment Info Here" application to provide simple information so you can get your payment.

You should use this application if:

  • You did not file a 2018 or 2019 federal income tax return because your gross income was under $12,200 ($24,400 for married couples). This includes people who had no income. Or
  • You weren’t required to file a 2018 or 2019 federal income tax return for other reasons

If you receive these benefits, we already have your information and you will receive $1,200. Do not use this application if you receive:

  • Social Security retirement, disability (SSDI), or survivor benefits
  • Railroad Retirement and Survivor Benefits

Special note: People in these groups who have qualifying children under age 17 can use this application to claim the $500 payment per child.
