Overview
- The IRS has set April 15, 2025, as the final deadline for eligible taxpayers to claim the $1,400 stimulus check under the Recovery Rebate Credit.
- The stimulus payment was part of federal COVID-19 relief efforts aimed at providing financial support during economic uncertainty.
- Taxpayers who did not file their 2021 returns or failed to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit may still qualify if they meet the income-based eligibility criteria.
- The full $1,400 is available for individuals with an adjusted gross income of $75,000 or less in 2021, and up to $150,000 for married couples filing jointly.
- The IRS previously distributed $2.4 billion in automatic payments to 1 million taxpayers in late 2024, but many eligible Americans still have unclaimed refunds.
