Many Americans may still be eligible to receive a $1,400 stimulus payout as the April 15, 2025 tax deadline approaches.

Overview

  • April 15, 2025, marks the final deadline for eligible Americans to file 2021 tax returns and claim the $1,400 Recovery Rebate Credit.
  • Over one million taxpayers are estimated to still qualify for unclaimed stimulus funds and other 2021 tax refunds or credits.
  • The IRS automatically issued catch-up payments in December 2024 to some taxpayers who filed 2021 returns but missed the credit, while non-filers must act manually.
  • Eligibility for the full $1,400 payment requires an adjusted gross income of $75,000 or less for single filers and $150,000 or less for joint filers in 2021.
  • Unclaimed stimulus funds and refunds will revert to the U.S. Treasury after the deadline, with no extensions or second chances allowed.
