Final 2021 Recovery Rebate payments will be issued December 2024
If you were eligible to claim the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2021 tax return and didn't, the IRS recently announced it will automatically send the payment, and it should arrive by late January 2025.
…"eligible taxpayers will also receive a separate letter notifying them of the payment."
"Taxpayers who qualify but did not claim any portion of the credit on their 2021 tax return should receive these payments by late January 2025. The payment will be sent to the bank account listed on the taxpayer’s 2023 tax return or to the address of record."
"The payments vary depending on several factors, but the maximum payment is $1,400 per individual."
"Eligible taxpayers who did not file must file a tax return to claim a Recovery Rebate Credit, even if their income from a job, business or other source was minimal or non-existent."
If you didn't file your 2021 tax return yet, FreeTaxUSA can help you do that. The deadline to file and claim a credit or refund is April 15, 2025.
