Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you are a resident alien (you are) and have a Social Security number valid for employment (it sounds like you do), then you are eligible for the stimulus payments. Check your Social Security card. You are eligible if it does NOT say NOT VALID FOR EMPLOYMENT.

 

 

The payments are not related to income taxes, except for the fact that missing stimulus payments are being added to the 2020 tax return as a “refund” because the IRS is done sending out first and second payments.

 

People who are not required to file tax returns are eligible for the stimulus payments so is does not matter whether you paid tax in 2019 or note.
