    Default Question about economic stimulus payment

    So I have a question about EIC. My dad's a non filer and he has yet to receive a stimulus paycheck. It keeps saying he has to file a 2020 tax return(IRS website). My dads retired, their is nothing to report. Wtf is going on? He did check the Get My Payment tool and it said payment status is unavailable? He also did get his 1st stimulus payment as a non-filer.
    Any help is appreciated.

    "payment status unavailable" could be for a variety of reasons, a list of which is available on the IRS website.

    Your father is correct that if you do not receive either of the EIC payments you are able to claim them on your 2020 taxes and the money will be added to your tax refund. Though in this case it would just be the second stimulus check that your father would need to claim on his taxes.

    Here is a business insider article discussing how to go about doing this.

    If you're not able to figure out how to do it from that article let me know and I can see if there's a guide on the IRS website or something.

    Per the IRS website that seems to be the form they recommend that seniors fill out.

    I hate the way the US government went about this thing. I never got the first stimulus. But I got the second. I've filed a form with the IRS to get my first stimulus. I still haven't received it. I wish they would have set up a central website where people can enter their updated residence info and preferred method of delivery (direct deposit etc.). The getmypayment website came too late and didn't work well.

    Yeah I haven't been very impressed. I got both of mine pretty much immediately but I know a ton of other people who didn't. I mean, I got mine like two weeks before everyone else in my house got theirs. It makes no sense at all.
