If you filed a tax return in 2018 or 2019, and were not a dependent on another person's tax return in those years, you should be "on the list". Use the Get my Payment button at this link under the section "Filers: Get Your Payment" to check on the status of your payment.
If you didn't file a tax return in 2018 or 2019, but were required to do so under the rules, you'll need to file your tax return(s) to "get on the list".
If you were not required to file a tax return in either 2018 or 2019, use the "Non-Filers: Enter Your Payment Info Here" section at this link to provide your payment information to the IRS. Or, you can use the TurboTax Stimulus Registration product at this link.
Note that "not required" to file a tax return is not the same as "required to file but didn't".
Here is a summary of stimulus payment eligibility:
- You don't need to sign up or fill out a form to receive a payment if you've been working and paying taxes since 2018. Or, if you are on Social Security, you won't need to take any action.
- If you made less than $75,000 in 2019, you will be eligible for the full payment of $1,200. Couples who filed jointly and made less than $150,000 will get $2,400.
- An individual who filed as "head of household" and earned $112,500 or less gets $1,200. For every child in the household, you will receive an additional $500.
- If you made more than $75,000, your payment will be reduced by $5 for every $100 of income that exceeds the limits. So if you made $80,000 in 2019, you will receive $950. The payment decreases to zero for an individual making $99,000 or more or a couple making $198,000 or more.
- If you're a family of four, you’ll be eligible for a maximum of $3,400.
- Dependents older than 16 at the end of 2019 and people without a Social Security number are not eligible for a stimulus payment.
