- What is going on y'all!
Welcome back to channel Wealth Hacker Labs.
I'm your gracious host Jeff Rose and it is Friday.
Let's go ahead and just dive into it.
So the IRS finally, finally has released their own
online portal that you can complete your tax returns
to get you your economic stimulus check.
That's right, your $1200 check.
Earlier this week I shared that TurboTax,
since they have a cooperation
and work with the IRS and helping
to come do free tax returns, you can go that route.
And up until then, the IRS didn't have their own portal.
Little antiquated, but they finally got it figured out.
And let's just go ahead and dive
on to the computer real quick so you can take a look.
So I'll have a link to this
in the show note in the description.
So this is the http://www.IRS.gov.
You go here, I have this link.
And actually if you even go to the home page,
let's see if you can see this real quick.
You actually will see it right there.
You just click on that, it will take you to this page.
It's also then gonna give you the requirements
that you need to actually complete it.
So you click on here and even though
you can't see the link here, the actual URL.
I'll try to show you or I'll have
this link also in the description as well.
But what I wanna show before we even click on this,
So this is not an http://IRS.gov website,
that's why I wanna show that to you.
It's actually https://www.freefilefillableforms.com/
So just FYI when you click on that link,
it actually takes you off of the IRS website.
There is a certain website to go to,
to make sure that you are not entering
your information into some scam website.
I'm sure there are scammers right now that
are creating sites that look just like this
Because let me just say this:
yes, the IRS created their first online portal,
but, I mean, the thing looks like it's made
from, like, 2002, right, I mean, whoo!
Anyway, but this only applies
if you meet this criteria. I'm gonna highlight this
real quick so you can read it. And it says,
"Do not continue here if: you receive Social Security,
"Railroad Retirement, or SSDI benefits.
"The IRS will automatically send
"you an Economic Impact Payment." So that's one.
Two: "You have already filed your 2019 tax return."
Three, this is a big one: "Your 2019 gross income
"exceeds $12,200 or $24,400 for
"a married couple or other reasons
"require you to file a 2019 federal tax return."
Number five: "You were married at the end
"of 2019 and are not submitting information here
"with your spouse." And then finally, You were not
a U.S. citizen or U.S. permanent resident in 2019."
So if you do not meet any of that criteria,
then go ahead and go onto the next video
and go watch something more entertaining.
So that's what you need to meet those requirements.
So you click on that and then you will
set up your account, email address, user ID, phone number.
You have to create account if you have not yet.
And once again, this on http://freefillableforms.com.
And that's it, I mean that's it.
Here's a Forbes article that talks
a little bit more about it, too.
But that's it.
Once again we go back to the IRS website so you can see it.
So all you gotta do is click that nice, little link
that says "Non-Filers: Enter your Payment Information Here"
Click on that, it's gonna take you to
http://freefillableforms.com, fill it out.
And from what I've read, it should
take you just a few minutes to get
that set up, get going so that you
don't have to do the paper route,
you don't have to try to figure out
how to do it online through another portal,
or meet with some kind of tax accountant
whether it be in person, which you
probably could do right now or virtually.
So this is finally done.
It only took the IRS, y'know, a good,
we'll just say a month after all
the things that's been going on.
But it is here, it is set up, ready for you.
All right y'all, until next time,
Jeff Rose reminding you that it is your money,
it's your life and only you can make it awesome.
Peace.
