Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It is my understanding that as things stand now, social security recipients that have not filed a tax return will have to file in order to receive a stimulus check.  This very well may change in the near future - it's been less than a week since the bill was passed and signed into law.  The IRS has extended the April 15 deadline to July 15.  No extension request has to be filed.  New York follows IRS filing deadlines, so when the IRS extended their deadline, the New York deadline was automatically extended as well.
