I have a home (for now) and I didnt get the last two stimulus checks. Went to the IRS office, can not get in without an appointment due to Covid. They do not make appointments, they have to be made over the phone. Have called 4-500 times over the past two months and have managed to get a call answered twice, both times spending an hour going through voice prompts and being on hold before getting a message that they cant help me because if call volume. Yeah, good luck homeless guy.
If you do not have a bank account and don’t wish to open one, the IRS can mail you an Economic Impact Payment Card, which functions like a debit card.
If you don’t have a permanent address, you can arrange to have your stimulus money sent to a local post office, homeless shelter or religious place of worship. You can also contact United Way’s 211 Economic Impact Payment Helpline by calling (844)-322-3639 for assistance.
I volunteer at a soup kitchen and have printed business cards to give out so those who come in can call to get this round of stimulus and if they fill out a tax return can receive all the stimulus!
I saw this and actually talked with two homeless gentlemen yesterday at the gas station. They said they were afraid to go and do this due to the fact that they had been homeless for so long that were sure they owed back taxes and the government would come and get them. Idk how true that is because I am not well versed in tax law. Could someone help? I am just trying to help people who need it.

This isn’t entirely correct. An “EIP Return” isn’t a thing. You get mailed an EIP card after filing a different type of form. Click Here to get homeless people their checks.
