Needless to say, most Americans have enjoyed their Stimulus check payments by now. However, some taxpayers who do not normally have to file a tax return may be missing out on this money.
As a matter of fact, the IRS has announced the deadline to claim your stimulus check before it is too late. Even if you still have time, you should do it as soon as possible to avoid missing the upcoming deadline.
When is the last day to claim your stimulus check from the IRS?
Although it is not possible to claim the 2020 Recovery Rebate Credit, it is still possible to claim the one for 2021. The Internal Revenue Service has confirmed that you can claim it until April 15, 2025.
So, if you are a taxpayer who does not normally file a tax return, check what you need to do to get the stimulus check for 2021 through the Recovery Rebate Credit.
Thus, if you are eligible, and did not receive the 2021 Economic Impact payment, you will have to file a tax return for 2021. Yes, even if you have no obligation to file because your earnings were too low in 2021.
What can you use to claim your stimulus check from the IRS?
The IRS recommends using the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance or VITA. Actually, it is a great option for those Americans who are just filing to claim the stimulus check for 2021.
If you would like to know more about VITA, you will just need to visit the IRS official website: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/free-tax-return-preparation-for-qualifying-taxpayers.
Sometimes it is best to get support from a tax professional. Anyway, if you think you may be eligible or you know someone who may qualify, apply or help them file before April 15, 2025, the final deadline. In this way, you may benefit from a great payment to boost your finances.
