COVID-19 stimulus payment for US expat

Alexx · April 14

COVID-19 stimulus payment related question.

Before this entire corona thing began I started my process to getting up to date with my american taxes. I.E. contacted a tax professional for the streamlined procedure.

This process is not quite done yet however, so I have no history of filing in the US whatsoever. My annual income is such that I would receive the full 1200$, however high enough that I have filing requirements.

From what I can see on the IRS website the site for applying for the stimulus check is only for people who make below 12k USD per year. So I take it I shouldn't enter my information there.

What should I do?

Since this really a credit against your 2020 taxes, if you get your streamline filing done by then, you should get the refundable credit when you file 2020.
