Coronavirus Update: How To Get Your Direct Check If You Didn't File Taxes

This Coronavirus pandemic is hurting working Montanans across our state. During these tough times, I fought to ensure we get Montanans some relief in their pocketbooks as we work together to overcome this crisis. 

That’s why in the Coronavirus Economic Recovery Package, I fought to include a one-time $1,200 per person ($2,400 per couple) direct check and $500 per child. 

If you are on Social Security and getting direct deposits, or have filed taxes in 2018 or 2019 you will not have to do ANYTHING. 

For those who have not filed a tax return, if you receive veterans disability compensation, a pension, or survivor benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs, the IRS has released a new online portal to help you get your direct check. 

You can provide the necessary information to the IRS easily and quickly for no fee.

The IRS will use this information to determine your eligibility and payment amount and send you a direct check. After providing this information you won’t need to take any additional action.
