Deadline Today to Claim $1,400 Stimulus Checks from IRS

April 15, 2025, marks the final deadline for Americans to claim the $1,400 Recovery Rebate Credit, which is available to those who missed previous Economic Impact Payments during the COVID-19 pandemic. The IRS estimates that over $1 billion in refunds remain unclaimed, affecting approximately 1.1 million taxpayers who have not filed their 2021 tax returns. Eligible individuals include those with an adjusted gross income of up to $75,000, with higher thresholds for married couples and heads of households. The Recovery Rebate Credit is refundable, meaning individuals can receive the credit even if they owe no taxes. As the deadline approaches, taxpayers are urged to file their returns to secure these funds, or they risk forfeiting the money to the U.S. Treasury. Resources and further information can be accessed through the IRS website.
