Federal benefit recipients can use the Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info Here tool to get a catch-up payment for a qualifying child if they have NOT done one of the following: already used the Non-Filers tool to provide information about their qualifying child filed their 2019 or 2018 tax return The Non-Filers tool is available on IRS.gov in both English and Spanish. Eligible individuals can use the tool until Wednesday, September 30 to enter information about their qualifying children to receive a catch-up $500 payment per child. This payment will be issued in October. Those unable to access the Non-Filers tool, may file a simplified paper return following the instructions in this FAQ on IRS.gov. Anyone who misses the September 30 deadline will need to wait until next year and claim the payment as a credit on their 2020 federal income tax return. Those who received their original Economic Impact Payment by direct deposit will also have any catch-up payment direct deposited to the same account. Others will receive a check. Federal benefit recipients who used the Non-Filers tool after May 5, don't need to take any further action. Social Security, SSI, Department of Veterans Affairs and Railroad Retirement Board beneficiaries who have already used the Non-Filers tool to provide information on children don't need to take any further action. The IRS will automatically send a payment in October. Get a payment status at IRS.gov Eligible recipients can check the status of their catch-up payment using the Get My Payment tool on IRS.gov.
