Last Chance to Claim Your $1,400 Stimulus Check from 2021
Urgent Need to Act for $1,400 Stimulus Check
Taxpayers who haven’t filed their 2021 tax returns may still be eligible to receive one (or more) stimulus payments sent during the height of the pandemic. Some taxpayers have only a week left to claim the $1,400 stimulus payment they're eligible for but didn't receive in 2021.
IRS Announcement and Payment Distribution
The IRS announced that roughly 1 million taxpayers who did not receive their stimulus payments would see checks in the mail or the money appear automatically in their bank accounts. About $2.4 billion is expected to be distributed, and most payments will arrive by late January.
- Payments are a maximum of $1,400 per individual.
- Special payments are for those who filed a 2021 tax return but left the data field for the Recovery Rebate Credit blank or filled it out as $0.
Filing Deadline Approaches
Those who did not file their 2021 tax returns need to act quickly as they must file their returns before the April 15 filing deadline to qualify. More than 1 million individuals across the nation have unclaimed refunds for tax year 2021.
