Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Your third stimulus check cannot be taken or reduced if you owe back taxes. It is also protected from federal and state debts, such as past-due child support. The rules are slightly different when claiming previous stimulus checks as the Recovery Rebate Credit.

 

None of the three stimulus checks (or Recovery Rebate Credits) are considered income, and therefore aren’t taxable. They won’t reduce your refund or increase what you owe when you file your taxes this year, or next. They also won’t affect your eligibility for any federal government assistance or benefits.
