Add $1 of interest and efile.  But understand that dependents are not eligible for stimulus payments.

If you have no income, you are not required to file a tax return.  However, you can still e-file a tax return (with no income reported) if you qualify for and need to claim the recovery rebate.  

 

If you didn't receive the full amount for your first or second-round stimulus payments, we'll help you claim the Recovery Rebate Credit when you file your taxes this year.  We'll make sure you get the money you qualify for by double-checking the amount and quantity of stimulus payments you received.
