>> Who is not eligible?
>>
>> Although some filers, such as high-income filers, will not qualify

>>
>> Taxpayers likely won't qualify for an Economic Impact Payment if any
>> of the following apply:
>>
>> Your adjusted gross income is greater than
>>
>> $99,000 if your filing status was single or married filing separately
>>
>> $136,500 for head of household
>>
>> $198,000 if your filing status was married filing jointly

>> You can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return. For

>>
>> You do not have a valid Social Security number.
>>
>> You are a nonresident alien.
>>
>> You filed Form 1040-NR or Form 1040NR-EZ, Form 1040-PR or Form
>> 1040-SS for 2019.
>>
>> How much is it worth?
>>
>> Eligible individuals with adjusted gross income up to $75,000 for
>> single filers, $112,500 for head of household filers and $150,000 for
>> married filing jointly are eligible for the full $1,200 for

>> eligible for an additional
>> $500 per qualifying child.
>>
>> For filers with income above those amounts, the payment amount is

>>
>> Do I need to take action?
>>
>> People who filed a tax return for 2019 or 2018
>>
>> No additional action is needed by taxpayers who:
>>
>> have already filed their tax returns this year for 2019. The IRS will
>> use this information to calculate the payment amount.
>>
>> haven’t filed yet for 2019 but filed a 2018 federal tax return. For
>> these taxpayers the IRS will use their information from 2018 tax
>> filings to make the Economic Impact Payment calculations.
>>
>> People who aren't typically required to file a tax return
>>
>> Social Security and Railroad Retirement recipients who are not
>> typically required to file a tax return need to take no action. The
>> IRS will use the information on the Form SSA-1099 and Form RRB-1099
>> to generate Economic Impact Payments of $1,200 to these individuals
>> even if they did not file tax returns in 2018 or 2019. Recipients
>> will receive these payments as a direct deposit or by paper check,
>> just as they would normally receive their benefits. Social Security
>> Disability Insurance (SSDI) recipients are also part of this group who don't need to take action.
>>
>> For Social Security, Railroad retirees and SSDI who have qualifying
>> children, they can take an additional step to receive $500 per
>> qualifying child.
>>
>> There are other individuals such as low-income workers and certain
>> veterans and individuals with disabilities who aren’t required to

>> Taxpayers can check the IRS.gov tool - Do I Need to File a Tax Return?
>> - to see if they have a filing requirement.
>>
>> The IRS will soon provide guidance for these individuals on the steps

>>
>> Payment recipients: watch for an IRS letter
>>
>> For security reasons, the IRS plans to mail a letter about the
>> economic impact payment to the taxpayer’s last known address within
>> 15 days after the payment is paid. The letter will provide
>> information on how the payment was made and how to report any failure
>> to receive the payment. If a taxpayer is unsure they’re receiving a
>> legitimate letter, the IRS urges taxpayers to visit IRS.gov first to protect against scam artists.
>>
>> Avoid scams related to economic payments, COVID-19
>>
>> The IRS urges taxpayers to be on the lookout for scam artists trying
>> to use the economic impact payments as cover for schemes to steal
>> personal information and money. Remember, the IRS will not call ,
>> text you, email you or contact you on social media asking for
>> personal or bank account information – even related to the economic
>> impact payments. Also, watch out for emails with attachments or links
>> claiming to have special information about economic impact payments or refunds.
