The vast majority of people who were eligible to receive a stimulus check will be receiving the third and final payment automatically. These payments — which are actually a tax credit called the Recovery Rebate Credit – will be deposited into accounts or sent via direct deposit through March. People can view the total amount of their third-round Economic Impact Payment, including any Plus-Up Payments, through their individual Online Account or by reviewing their Letter 6475.Read more :stimuluschecker.org

A person or household can also request a supplemental stimulus check if they didn’t get what they were promised based on information from their 2019 return. The IRS will do a “true-up” after tax season to reconcile the differences between what was reported in their 2021 return and what they received on their third-round check.

Financial Empowerment: How IRS Refund Stimulus Checks Support Taxpayers

Anyone claiming a third-round Economic Impact Payment should be aware that this payment could be offset by unpaid state and local taxes, as well as private debts like medical or student loans, provided the money is used for legitimate purposes. For this reason, it’s important to file taxes and keep detailed records to avoid paying more in taxes than is necessary.

In addition to the Recovery Rebate Credit, there are a variety of other ways to help reduce taxes. For example, people can split their federal refund into multiple financial accounts or purchase up to $5,000 in U.S. Series I Savings Bonds. And for those who have difficulty affording filing fees and other tax-related costs, the IRS offers several free and low-cost options to help them prepare their returns and pay their taxes.
