I'm on SSI and I've never had to file taxes. I won't get any of that covid-19 stimulus money unless I file. So can someone tell me step by step what I need to do?

You can prepare a return with all zeros. You can either download a 1040 from IRS.gov or prepare one through TurboTax. You will have to mail it to the IRS.

Thank you so much. I did exactly what you said.

I filed a 2019 tax form when I shouldn't have because I'm on SSI. The IRS isn't open to even process that return. Since I'm on SSI will  I possibly get a direct deposit of the 1200? Or do I have to wait for a paper check and also I out a p.o. box as the mailing address which does belong to me but the last physical address is wrong from over 21 years ago with the IRS.  What can I do?????

Did you file the return electronically or by mail?  If you mailed in a paper return, you should go use the online registration tool to provide your most current information to the IRS. 

Here is the link to the proper tool for you to register: Non-filer registration tool
