Even people who didn't have enough income to file a return (much less
expect a refund) for tax years 2019 or 2020 could have gone on the IRS
website, filled out the 1040 Form listing whatever little income there
was on their W-2's, or zero income, and provided them with the
information for Direct Deposit. The IRS set it up that way
*specifically* for the Covid-19 stimulus checks, so they'd know how to
handle the payments. This is the third stimulus check the government
has issued since Covid-19. Plenty of time for him to figure it out,
especially since this is not the first time this discussion has occurred.
