The IRS Has Extended the Deadline for These 3 Groups to Register for a Child Stimulus Payment
The $2.2 trillion economic stimulus package known as the CARES Act was passed back in March and provided for (among other things) direct payments of as much as $1,200 for each qualifying adult, $2,400 for married couples, and $500 per child.

The IRS is asking taxpayers in these categories to register their eligible dependents no later than Sept. 30, or they may not receive their additional payment of $500 per child until they file a 2020 tax return early next year.
