The IRS is reminding taxpayers that the deadline to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on 2021 tax returns is April 15, 2025. Individuals who did not receive one or more Economic Impact Payments (stimulus checks) may qualify for refunds of up to $1,400 by filing their returns. Automatic payments for unclaimed credits were issued in early 2025. Those with little or no income are encouraged to file as they may still qualify. Payments will be sent to the bank account listed on 2023 tax returns or mailed to the address on record.
