Answers to your questions on the filing and payment deadline.
Economic Impact Payments
We started distributing economic impact payments in April. Most people will get their payments automatically and will not need to take any action. Social Security beneficiaries who are not typically required to file tax returns will not need to file to receive a payment. Instead, payments will be automatically deposited into their bank accounts. Please do not call the IRS about this.
Coronavirus-Related Paid Leave for Workers
You are entitled to paid sick leave, either to tend to your own health needs or to care for a family member.
