Unbelievably, something that many thought was impossible is about to happen. The IRS is ready to provide a $1,400 stimulus payout to one million Americans. Yes, it is what you read. However, why now? For anyone who, for whatever reason, did not take advantage of this benefit when it was originally made available, there is a unique reward.
After searching through their records, the IRS—basically, the tax agency that most people hate—found that about a million people qualified for the Recovery Rebate Credit.
It sounds elegant, doesn’t it? In actuality, though, it is only a reimbursement for stimulus funds from the pandemic that some people were not able to obtain. This money is for you if you are qualified but did not receive one.
What s this stimulus check about, and why now?
The worst part is that there is nothing you need to do. There are no lengthy phone conversations or forms to complete. It is being processed automatically by the IRS. Either a real check will be mailed to you or the money will be deposited into your bank account.
Additionally, they will notify you via note that it is en route. Like when you get a shipment reminder for a package you didn’t remember to order.
When s the money coming?
Since these payments are planned to start in December, you should obtain the money by January 2025 at the latest, or before the holidays. It’s perfect if you need to catch up on bills or are considering gifts. In any case, it’s a fantastic little elevator.
How can you tell if you qualify?
These reimbursements are meant for people who submitted their 2021 taxes but accidentally typed 0 or left the Recovery Rebate Credit section empty.
According to the IRS, you still have time to file your 2021 taxes if you didn’t. If you apply by April 15, 2025, you may qualify. Isn’t it worth checking?
If your bank account has changed since you submitted your 2023 taxes, don’t worry. The IRS will only mail a check to the address on file if the payment bounces. You don’t need to put in any more work.
How much money is being sent out?
A million individuals will receive a total of $2.4 billion. The IRS claims that this effort is a component of a broader effort to simplify matters for taxpayers.
Werfel says, “We want to make sure that this money reaches the people who need it without any unnecessary hassle.” This entails automatic payments, no complicated paperwork, and no additional stress.
One last thing to keep in mind
If you believe you could be one of the fortunate recipients, be patient. The money will make its way to you. However, if you have not filed your 2021 taxes, now is the time to do so. Avoid leaving money unclaimed for too long.
For many, this payout may be the assistance they have been looking for. Who wouldn t welcome an extra $1,400 to start the new year on a positive note?
