Those who have not claimed their unpaid stimulus checks yet are reminded to claim them as a deadline is already set.
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.
2021 Third Stimulus Checks
In a published article by Money, aside from the unpaid stimulus checks that need to be claimed, there is also a deadline of April 15, 2025, to claim the third stimulus check from 2021.
It is important to stay informed about these deadlines and take action promptly to ensure you receive any owed stimulus money. Filing your tax return and claiming any outstanding stimulus checks can provide much-needed financial relief.
Be sure to consult with a tax professional if you have any questions or need assistance with the process of filing taxes.
