Who’s Eligible for the Stimulus Payment?
If you didn’t receive the full amount of the Economic Impact Payments (stimulus checks) during the pandemic, you could still be eligible for the Recovery Rebate Credit. Here’s how it works:
-
Single Filers: You’ll get the full $1,400 if your income was $75,000 or less in 2021. The payment gradually phases out for incomes above $80,000.
-
Married Filing Jointly: If your combined income was $150,000 or less, you’ll qualify for the full payment. It phases out above $160,000.
-
Dependents: If you’re claiming dependents, you can also receive $1,400 per dependent, even if they’re older than 17.

Haven’t Filed Yet? You need to file your 2021 tax return by April 15, 2025, to get your payment. Even if you had no income, you should file to be eligible for the credit.
