What happens if you have not filed your 2019 taxes?
The IRS will use the information from 2018.
How much is the amount of the benefit?
Eligible taxpayers who filed tax returns for either 2019 or 2018 will automatically receive an economic impact payment of up to $1,200 for individuals or $2,400 for married couples and up to $500 for each qualifying child (under 17 years of age).
Is there a limit of income to receive this benefit?
Yes.

How will the IRS know where to send my payment?
The economic impact payment will be deposited directly into the same banking account reflected on the return filed for 2019 or 2018.

For those with disability payments or retirees who receive social security benefit who are not typically required to file a tax return don’t need take an action and will receive their payment directly to their bank account,”.
The IRS will use the information on the Form SSA-1099 and Form RRB-1099 to generate the Economic Impact Payments they will receive these payments as a direct deposit or by paper check, just as they would normally receive their benefits.
