Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Here's what the IRS says:

 

Social Security and Railroad Retirement recipients who are not typically required to file a tax return need to take no action. The IRS will use the information on the Form SSA-1099 and Form RRB-1099 to generate Economic Impact Payments of $1,200 to these individuals even if they did not file tax returns in 2018 or 2019.

 

Recipients will receive these payments as a direct deposit or by paper check, just as they would normally receive their benefits.

 

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) recipients are also part of this group who don't need to take action.
