Register for your stimulus payment by November 21, 2020
You have until November 21, 2020 at 3pm EST to register for your stimulus payment (also known as the Economic Impact Payment) if you did not:
- file taxes in 2019
- get a stimulus payment
- register for a stimulus payment already
To register for your stimulus payment, use the IRS's Non-Filers Tool by clicking the button below.
Note: If you are a student who cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone’s tax returns and are not required to file a tax return, you may be eligible for a stimulus payment. Recent college graduates from 2019 and 2020 may not have received a stimulus payment because they were claimed as a dependent by their parents or someone else. These graduates may be eligible for a stimulus payment when they file their 2020 tax return in early 2021.
