If you don’t usually file a tax return, or didn’t file a return for 2018 or 2019, you might not know you could qualify for an economic impact payment. You might be one of the nine million people getting a letter from the IRS letting you know how to register on their website to claim your payment. The new deadline for filing is November 21, 2020.
If you get this letter from the IRS, it’s legit. Go only to the IRS’s real website at IRS.gov/EIP, or call them directly at 800-919-9835 to register to claim your payment. You only have until November 21. But if someone claiming to be from the IRS calls, emails, or texts about helping you get your stimulus payment, that person is running a government imposter scam on you. Hang up, and don’t respond to or click on any links in texts or emails.
Why? Because the IRS will not text, email, or call you about your economic impact payment. And they’ll never ask you to pay a fee to get your money.
Visit the IRS’s website to find out more about stimulus payments. And be sure to tell the FTC if someone pretending to be from the government contacts you.
Note: This blog, originally posted on September 23, 2020, has been updated with the IRS’s extended filing deadline of November 21, 2020.

Did you use the "Non-Filers: Enter Payment Information" online system that the IRS provides? If you did, look at the questions and answers on that system for more information. Go to the Non-Filers: Enter Payment Information home page, and click on "FAQ" on the left side of the page. That opens a list of Frequently Asked Questions in a new page. It has questions and answers about using the system.

The real IRS website shows you can still request a stimulus check until November 21 at 3 pm Eastern time.
The IRS website says if you did not:
you can use the non-filer tool to enter your information.
