The IRS announced that it is extending the deadline for low-income people and others who are not required to file a tax return to submit their information in order to receive an Economic Impact Payment. The new deadline to register is November 21, 2020. Those who are eligible and have not yet received a stimulus payment can use the Non-Filers tool on IRS.gov to enter their information. This deadline differs from the one for Social Security and SSI beneficiaries to claim the $500 per child dependent payments; that deadline passed on September 30. However, there are still millions of eligible individuals who have not yet received their $1,200 payments. The IRS recently mailed out letters to almost 9 million people who may be eligible for, but have not received, an Economic Impact Payment. Those eligible individuals who do not submit their information before the November 21st deadline will have to wait until next year to receive their payment by filing a 2020 tax return.
