Question. IRs website indicates a person that receives social security income and normally doesn't file a tax return. Is required to file a "simple tax return" in order to get the stimulus credit. I offered to do a few of them for free for a few people however when I entered the tax return in proseries it indicates I cannot file a tax return with zero value. So im confused. Are people on social sec supposed to file taxes or will they just automatically get a stimulus? I read one post on the news website that they do not have to file.. but the irs website indicates they have to file.
