A group of Democratic senators is pressuring the Trump administration to rescind or clarify new guidance that tells seniors to file a tax return in order to receive a coronavirus stimulus payment. Led by Sens. Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire and Sherrod Brown of Ohio, the senators take issue with IRS guidelines Monday that said people who weren't required to file tax returns for 2018 or 2019 "will need to file a simple tax return to receive" to receive their check. The agency mentioned Social Security recipients, which has caused confusion among some elderly Americans. An estimated 64 million Americans received Social Security benefits last year and many aren't required to file tax returns. |
