This is your final opportunity to secure an exceptional $1,400 COVID payment from the IRS.
If you are still due a $1,400 economic impact payment from the Internal Revenue Service related to the government’s response to COVID-19, you must claim it by the tax deadline of April 15.
As per an IRS announcement, approximately one million individuals were still owed a $1,400 stimulus check by the conclusion of 2024.
These payments were first issued as part of the American Rescue Plan legislation in March 2021 and represented the third installment in a series of stimulus checks. Overall, the total payments exceeded $400 billion disbursed to taxpayers.

However, if someone did not file a 2021 tax return, they might have been eligible for a check without receiving it. The IRS indicated that Americans who failed to file their return in 2021 have until April 15 to submit an amended return to claim the credit.
To be eligible for any unclaimed funds, taxpayers must submit a tax return, regardless of whether their income was low or zero for the year.
