The main reason to file a return would be to claim the first and second stimulus payments if neither have been received for each of you. If your income is under $150,000 and you meet other eligibility requirements, then you would qualify for the third stimulus payment.
The first stimulus payment was for up to $1,200 each.
- If not received, it will be refunded to you on the 2020 tax return filed in the spring of 2021.
The second stimulus payment was for up to $600 each.
- If not received, it will be refunded to you on the 2020 tax return filed in the spring of 2021.
The third stimulus payment was for up to $1,400 each.
- If not received, it will be refunded to you on the 2021 tax return filed in the spring of 2022.
