The Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service launched a new web tool on IRS.gov Friday that enables quick registration to receive Economic Impact Payments — also known as Recovery Rebates — faster and was designed to "help millions of people" who don't usually file a tax return, they said.

The non-filer tool, developed as part of a partnership between the IRS and Free File Alliance, provides a free and simple option for those who don't have a tax return filing obligation, including those Americans with too little income to normally file, they said in a joint announcement.
