If you're filing a tax return to get the stimulus payment, you don't have to file a tax return. See the information below.

 

When you enter form SSA-1099, in TurboTax, you are not asked to enter a Payer I.D. number. See Where do I enter an SSA-1099, SSA-1099-SM, or SSA-1099-R-OP1?

 

The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service today announced that Social Security beneficiaries who are not typically required to file tax returns will not need to file an abbreviated tax return to receive an Economic Impact Payment. Instead, payments will be automatically deposited into their bank accounts. 

 

The IRS will use the information on the Form SSA-1099 and Form RRB-1099 to generate $1,200 Economic Impact Payments to Social Security recipients who did not file tax returns in 2018 or 2019. Recipients will receive these payments as a direct deposit or by paper check, just as they would normally receive their benefits.
