Ask Terry Questions stimulus package

stimulus package

Hello Terry,
I just watched you on WGN morning news. I didn’t understand if you have to file your2020 taxes to get the stimulus check? If you don’t file in time will they go to the 2019 earnings to assess your eligibility for this package?
Thank you so much.

Terry Says

You MUST file for 2020 even if you aren’t required to because of low earnings. They are no longer looking back to 2019. So if you want to make sure you get the new $1400 — as well as earlier checks you might have missed ($1200 and $600) file now.
