These payments are intended to help eligible individuals who missed out on claiming the credit, which provides up to $1,400 per person to those who did not receive the full amount of their Economic Impact Payment (EIP).
Who will receive the payment?
Eligible taxpayers include taxpayers who filed a 2021 tax return but left the Recovery Rebate Credit field blank or entered $0 even though they were eligible.
Payments will be automatically deposited into the bank account listed on the taxpayer's 2023 tax return or mailed to the address on file.
There is no need for the taxpayer to take any action and the taxpayer will also receive a notice.
The IRS estimates the payments will total $2.4 billion and reach recipients by late January 2025.
Filing deadline for non-filers
Taxpayers who have not filed a 2021 tax return still have time to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit.
To qualify, you must file by April 15, 2025, even if you have minimal or no income.
Your submission may also qualify you for other refunds or credits.
Important notes
- Payments do not count as income when determining eligibility for federal benefits such as SSI, SNAP, and WIC.
- Additional information about calculating or claiming the Recovery Rebate Credit is available on the IRS website.
- This effort is a reminder of other available credits, including the Earned Income Tax Credit, as the 2025 tax season approaches, and the IRS' continued effort to ensure taxpayers receive the credits and refunds to which they are entitled. This emphasizes our efforts.
