Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No, please wait since you filed your 2019 and 2020 return. Once your return has been processed the IRS should send you the third stimulus payment if you are eligible. If not then you will be able to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2021 tax return for the third stimulus.

 

Keep checking IRS Get My Payment for updates of your third stimulus status.

 

To be eligible you need to be a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien in 2020 and have a Social Security number that is valid for employment.

 

You cannot be claimed as a dependent by someone else to be eligible. 

 

 

  • If you have an adjusted gross income (AGI) under $75,000 ($150,000 married filing jointly), you will be eligible for the full $1,400 stimulus payment.  
  • Payments will begin to be reduced for individuals making $75,000 or above in AGI ($150,000 for married filing jointly.)
  • Once your AGI reaches $80,000 for individuals ($160,000 married filing jointly) you will be ineligible for a payment.

 

"Unlike the first two payments, the third stimulus payment is not restricted to children under 17. Eligible families will get a payment based on all of their qualifying dependents claimed on their return, including older relatives like college students, adults with disabilities, parents and grandparents" (IRS).
