First of all, you are not alone! Millions are still waiting for their tax refunds, which will eventually come in the mail, and with interest.
BUT you MUST file for 2020 if you did not receive the original $1200 stimulus, or this year’s January $600 stimulus! You claim it on line 30 and put in your banking information for direct deposit. Do it right now!
Since you are low income, you can get free tax filing help to do this at www.IRS.gov/Freefile
