The tax agency said on Tuesday that it planned to send letters to 9 million people later this month who typically are not required to file tax returns and have yet to provide their information in order to claim their stimulus checks.

IRS TAKES STEPS TO SOLVE STIMULUS CHECK TROUBLES
"Millions who don't normally file a tax return have already registered and received a payment,” IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig said in a statement. “We are taking this extra step to help Americans who may not know they could be eligible for this payment or don't know how to register for one. People who aren't required to file a tax return can quickly register on IRS.gov and still get their money this year."
These people can fill out the non-filers tool by Oct. 15 in order to receive their money this year.
Mailings are expected to begin on Sept. 24. The agency has provided a copy of the letter so that individuals can be sure it is not fraudulent.
