$1,400 IRS Stimulus Checks Expected as Deadline Approaches

American taxpayers are urged to act quickly to claim unclaimed pandemic relief funds, specifically the Recovery Rebate Credit, which provides eligible individuals up to $1,400. The IRS has been issuing these payments to those who missed out on Economic Impact Payments, with a deadline of April 15, 2025, looming for those who have not yet filed their 2021 tax returns. More than $1 billion in refunds remain unclaimed, and the IRS estimates that over a million Americans are still eligible for this financial aid. Those who have not filed their taxes or did not claim the credit must do so before the deadline to avoid losing out on the funds, which will revert to the Treasury afterward. The payments will be automatically distributed either through direct deposit or paper checks, with notifications sent to eligible taxpayers. This initiative aims to ensure that those who missed out during the pandemic receive the support they need.
