Third Stimulus Check

If you did not receive the third stimulus payment and you qualify for it, you will have to prepare and mail in a 2021 Tax Return as you can no longer e-file 2021 taxes. Use the tool below to determine your payment before filling out and mailing in your back taxes for stimulus 1, 2, and/or 3. Important: You only have until April 15, 2025 to claim stimulus three; stimulus one and two can no longer be refunded.

See the third stimulus check details as part of the American Rescue Plan of March 2021. This payment was to be issued to qualifying taxpayers based on their tax information on record with the Internal Service Revenue (IRS). These payments were $1,400 per qualifying taxpayer with additional credit for those with dependents.

How to Claim the Third Stimulus Check?

If you did not receive your third stimulus check, you can claim the Recovery Rebate Credit or RRC on your 2021 Tax Return. The Recovery Rebate Credit is a refundable tax credit that was introduced in 2020 as a way for taxpayers to receive their stimulus one and two payments. The 2021 credit is only for claiming stimulus three.
