How else will the IRS know if they’re alive and where to send it? - spamlet Apr 1, 14:04 3
- Right? - znufrii Apr 1, 14:07 2
  - I mean it’s an indictment of the systems themselves but the Democrats shouting why can’t it be done are silly. -- nm - spamlet Apr 1, 14:10 1
    - There’s been a lot of silly things floating around, unfortunately. -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 1, 14:21
Aren't they supposed to file anyway? Or if that's their only income they don't have to? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 1, 13:41 7
- It's not taxable so if that's they're only income they don't need to file. -- nm - Krusty Apr 1, 13:43 6
  - I mean technically it is a early 2020 tax refund, so.. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 1, 14:15
  - So again, if SS is their only source of income they're among those that need the incentive most. My SS is better than many but I'd hate to - Meg Apr 1, 13:45 4
    - Yup. And the gov't has their info. They shouldn't need them to file taxes to get the benefit. -- nm - Krusty Apr 1, 13:46 3
      - Exactly. They send me a check every month, if I haven't filed a return they know that's my only income! -- nm - Meg Apr 1, 14:08
      - get on a free tax program and back file tax reports? not that my 89 yo mom could even see well enough to do so -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 1, 13:52 1
        
        It's almost as if the government isn't keen to send those checks. -- nm - loosilu Apr 1, 13:53
