There is an urgent warning for taxpayers regarding their Recovery Rebate Credit. The Rebate Credit worksheet can be used by those who received less stimulus than they were entitled to. Also receiving the same information are those who received no stimulus payments. Taxpayers should not assume the funds will appear on their own. OFFICIALS NOTED THAT the IRS will not prepare your tax return (when it is erroneous).
Due to the fact that many households received stimulus payments last year, rebates will not be sent automatically. A rebate is available to anyone who did not receive the full amount of stimulus they were entitled to over the course of the year. For these taxpayers to receive the funds, they will need to complete the proper forms, Outsider reported.
“If you don’t fill out that worksheet the IRS isn’t going to do it for you,” said Henry Grzes, a tax expert and ethical practitioner.
“So you need to fill out the worksheet and make sure you put the proper numbers in there,” Grzes continued.
In addition, Grzes noted that many taxpayers may be eligible for these Recovery Rebate Credits. They may qualify even if they received payments throughout the year. The tax expert notes that the 2021 stimulus payments sent out already are based on filings from the prior year. As a result, taxpayers with a change in income may have a significant rebate. If these taxpayers complete the Recovery Rebate Credit forms, they will receive the correct rebate they are due.

Taxpayers Can Figure Out Rebate Amounts Using the IRS Website
They can check the rebate amounts on the IRS website. Users can access links on the website to find out how much rebate money they have already received. “Letter 6475” may also be able to help taxpayers determine whether they are eligible to claim the recovery rebate credit on their 2021 tax return. Taxpayers will also be able to use this form to claim funds when they file.
Payers have received more than 175 million third-round stimulus checks from the IRS as of December 2021. However, some groups may not have received the funds yet. These people might include families who are able to add dependents to their tax returns for 2021; or parents who had a baby in 2021. There may also have been large income changes in 2021. In addition, those who earned $80,000 in 2020 or $160,000 in 2021, but who saw their salary decrease in 2021, may still be waiting for the most recent payment.
