Deadline approaches for claiming $1,400 stimulus check from 2021
The deadline is approaching for the more than 1.1 million Americans who have yet to claim their $1,400 stimulus check from the pandemic-era relief.
The deadline to claim a stimulus check is April 15, 2025, but individuals may only be eligible to receive it if they did not file their 2021 tax return, the IRS noted.
The funds will be directly deposited into eligible taxpayers’ bank accounts or sent via a paper check to the address on file.
The Recovery Rebate Credit is a refundable credit for people who did not receive one or more COVID-19 stimulus payments.
The IRS began issuing payments to people who were eligible in December 2024.
In December, the agency said it found many eligible taxpayers who filed a return but didn’t claim the available credit. Those filers were able to receive their payment from the IRS by January.
If individuals aren’t sure, they can review their 2021 tax return and look for a Recovery Rebate Credit line to check. The IRS can also be contacted to determine if the credit was claimed or not.
Single filers qualify for the full $1,400 if their adjusted gross income was less than $75,000. Married couples that filed jointly qualify for $2,800 if their combined adjusted gross income was less than $150,000 and dependents could earn $1,400 regardless of their age, CNBC reported.
The IRS typically only allows individuals to file a refund or credit within three years, meaning the April 15 deadline, which is just less than 30 days away, is the last time the funds would be able to be handed out, the outlet reported.
