Claiming Of Unpaid Stimulus Checks

The IRS is reminding taxpayers that they have until May 17 to claim unpaid stimulus checks from 2020. Those who haven’t filed a tax return for that year can still claim the unpaid stimulus checks by filing their 2020 tax return before the deadline.

To claim unpaid stimulus checks, file a tax return and include the 2020 Recovery Rebate Credit on Line 30.

The deadline for claiming the claim unpaid stimulus checks is important because the right to a tax refund expires three years after the tax deadline.

According to a published article by SmartNews, aside from the unpaid stimulus checks, it’s also important to note that the IRS has retired its Get My Payment tool, so taxpayers can check on the status of their stimulus payments, as well as the unpaid stimulus checks, by accessing their IRS online account.
