May 5th IRS Deadline to File for Stimulus Payment for Dependent Children
If you are an SSI or VA beneficiary and are raising children under the age of 17, (who can be your grandchildren or other relatives) and did not file a tax return for 2018 or 2019, you have until Tuesday May 5th to file with the IRS on an online website tool requesting $500 per child in addition to the $1200 ”stimulus payment” that you will automatically receive. You will need to have an email address. If you need assistance with the IRS special non-filers tool and live in Bernalillo, Sandoval, Valencia or Torrance County, and are 60 years of age or older, please call SCLO at 505.265.2300 ASAP so that we can help you file for dependent children by May 5th. However, if you can do this yourself, the IRS website can be found at: www.irs.gov/coronavirus/non-filers-enter-payment-info-here
