tax and stimulus

[TxMedic76]

My and my wife filed married/jointly on 2018 tax return. This year we filed married but separate due to itemized deductions etc. I received my 1200 stimulus but she didn't. She didn't have income this year, does she need to file "non-filers" on irs freefile? So confused, I have called turbotax multiple times and no anywhere can give me a correct answer or guidance so she can receive her stimulus check.

Since your wife did not have any income to report on her own separate tax return, she should use one of the non-filer options to apply for her stimulus payment.  See the information below for more details:

If you are not required to file a tax return and you do not fall into a category of taxpayer that will automatically receive a stimulus payment, you should register your information using one of the non-filer applications.  This will generate a zero-income return to process your stimulus payment.

Those that do not need to register using the non-filer application include someone who is receiving Social Security retirement, disability (SSDI), Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or survivor benefits; Veteran’s benefits; or Railroad Retirement benefits.

You can either use the IRS registration tool for non-filers at this link:  IRS Economic Impact Payments

Or you can use the TurboTax registration tool for non-filers at this link, by clicking the orange Register Now button:  Get Your 2020 Stimulus Check

Do not use both options, only one is sufficient.
