Do self employed people need to file quarterly taxes to get the government check?

Asked by JLeslie (65425points) March 22nd, 2020 from iPhone

The government is working on sending money to taxpayers. Is it going to be done by individual or by household?

What if someone hasn’t paid any taxes yet this year, because they are self employed? Will filing Q1 taxes help be counted? Or, will people just have to say they earned an income to collect it, and the government will sort it out when we file our taxes for 2020.

Will people owe back the money they are given no matter what your earning situation? Is it intended more as a loan.
