CONCERNING: The IRS says up to 800,000 taxpayers may have mistakenly thrown their Covid-19 stimulus ...

As mentioned above, the IRS has sent about 800,000 notices to taxpayers who have yet to activate the stimulus payment debit cards. They noted that you have until October 15 to use the non-filer tool on the IRS website to get your stimulus payment. Some of the notices taxpayers will receive have due dates that have already passed.
