Those who were eligible for the third round of stimulus checks last year but did not receive them will be eligible to receive a $1,400 stimulus check this year.

Tax returns for eligible taxpayers in 2021 must be filed in order to release these checks in 2022.

What You Need to Know About Recovery Rebate Credit

According to The Sun, the IRS will offer Recovery Rebate Credits to taxpayers who qualify.

Again, the Sun reported that taxpayers need an Adjusted Gross Income of $75,000 (for individuals) or $150,000 (for married couples filing jointly) to qualify for the full amount of the third round of checks.

All of these genuinely innovative economic measures were part of the American Rescue Plan. Those who had their children in 2021 and who have already received their full payment are eligible for the Recovery Rebate Credit this year when they file their next tax return.

The American Rescue Plan Act

In March, President Biden signed into law the American Rescue Plan Act, which included a $1,400 stimulus payment. In order to determine eligibility for benefits, newborns are also considered. Based on the government’s 2020 tax returns, it calculated how much each parent should have received. The amount owed by anyone who had a child by the end of the 2020 tax year a permitted to be claimed.

A federal budget will be provided to each State to administer these funds. Nonetheless, as per MARCA, the state administrations are responsible for allocating these funds and deciding which specific benefits will be considered. Individuals can claim the remaining funds they weren’t able to receive by December 31 when filing their taxes in 2022.
