will they need to fill out a 1040 form in order to receive the 2020 stimulus check? If so, can that be done online? How would you actually submit the form if you fill it out online? Thank you.

You can go to the IRS dot Gov website and fill out one of their FREE filing options and then submit it on line. Free.

Looks like they are working on how you can file.

My understanding is this. I am assumming that your cheques are direct deposit. The govt has the information and money will be deposited into our account.

They seem to be making it up as they go along. I don't trust them not to claw this back in 2021. I won't be filing.

@noodleann I read somewhere in the NY Times that this is a "loan" and not a gift and the amount will have to be reported on next year's income tax. Have seen no confirmation of this anywhere.

You don't have to "file" anything. The payment will be automatic.

I heard the exact opposite. That the amount is non-taxable. And that, if you weren't eligible last year, but become eligible this year, it may be a credit on your next years tax return. This was from the finance reporter on my morning news, responding to viewers' questions.

No, I'd have to file, according to what's in the link to the IRS website, meaning I won't get it if I don't submit something. So will anyone else on SS or SSDI who didn't file taxes for 2018 or 2019, from what I read. Not doing that so no problem for me, now or down the road, at least with respect to that.

@kaydee50, one of our U.S. senators said that the checks are exempt from both federal and state income taxes. Governor has verified no there will be no state income tax on the funds.

What is good for the goose today will also be good for the gander tomorrow.

According to https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/economic-impact-payments-what-you-need-to-know , the form is not yet availble. Check the IRS site for updates so you can get correct information directly from the source.
