If you did not receive a stimulus check in the past, you may be eligible for a new check from the IRS in 2025 if you meet all the requirements.
Although it has been several years since the last round of stimulus checks in the United States, some taxpayers can still receive up to $1,400. This is possible because the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) conducted an internal review and discovered that many eligible individuals did not claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on their 2021 tax returns.
As a result, checks totaling $2.4 billion were distributed in December to those who did not take advantage of this benefit at the time.
Certain conditions must be met before you can receive this payment. Those who filed a tax return in 2021 but did not claim the credit will receive the money automatically.
Those who did not file their returns that year have until April 15, 2025 to do so and claim the amount to which they are entitled. Because this financial stimulus can be extremely beneficial during difficult economic times, it is critical to ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements.
Who can get the IRS stimulus check?
This payment is for taxpayers who did not claim the Recovery Rebate Credit in their 2021 return.Although a large number of Americans have already received this money, the IRS has identified many people who did not apply and are still eligible for up to $1,400.
Those who did not file a tax return in 2021 may be eligible if they file by April 15, 2025. This will allow them to receive not only this check, but also any other refunds to which they may be entitled. To avoid missing out on this financial opportunity, taxpayers must review their tax situation and act quickly.
How can I claim this stimulus check?
If you have already filed your 2021 tax return but have not claimed the Recovery Rebate Credit, there is no need to do anything as the IRS began sending payments automatically in December. These taxpayers will receive a communication regarding the issued cheque or deposit.
Individuals who did not file their tax return in 2021 must do so by April 15, 2025, including any applicable credits. This can be done using the IRS’s free filing tools or with the help of a tax professional. If the taxpayer meets the requirements, they will receive payment via paper check or direct deposit after filing their return.
To ensure eligibility, taxpayers should review their tax situation and claim the available stimulus check. With a relatively simple process and plenty of time to file, there is still time to take advantage of this financial opportunity.
