I filed my taxes for 2019 even though I hadn’t worked because I thought that the only way we can get our stimulus package is if we sign up for a tax return even though I will not be getting anything because he did not work in the past several years due to health problems and I was wondering how do I set up the direct deposit even though there’s a zero balance going to me I want to get my check faster

A tax return with no income entered cannot have a bank account entered since there is no tax refund or taxes owed.  The IRS will not process a tax return with no income entered.

Here’s my situation I have been unemployed for several years and I wanted to see if I can Filed 2019 even though I have nothing coming to me and the reason for that is because of the stimulus package and they said that you would have to have filed your taxes in 2018 or 2019, and I realize I cannot have a direct deposit because there’s nothing in it come out so that means I have to mail it by mail and I don’t know the first step and doing that?

Most of the information is not yet available since the legislation was just passed.
