The IRS is urging those that are not required to file a tax return to use the Non-Filers Tool on their website before October 15th, 2020. Failure to do so will mean having to wait until February or March of 2021 to receive the payment and will require the person to file a Form 1040 tax return to receive their money even if they are not normally required to file a tax return.
