The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is currently issuing $1,400 stimulus payments, known as the Recovery Rebate Credit, to eligible individuals who did not claim this credit on their 2021 tax returns. To receive this payment, you must file your 2021 tax return by April 15, 2025.
The maximum payment is $1,400 per individual or dependent, with income limits for full payment set at $75,000 adjusted gross income (AGI) for individuals and $150,000 for married couples filing jointly; payments phase out above these limits.
To determine if you’re eligible and to track your payment status, you can access your IRS Online Account. Once logged in, navigate to the “Economic Impact Payment Information” section on the Tax Records page to view the amounts of your first, second, and third Economic Impact Payments. If you haven’t received these payments, filing your 2021 tax return by the April 15 deadline is essential to claim the credit.
