When can I claim a stimulus credit on my taxes?
According to the IRS, you'll be able to claim a missing payment on your taxes in the coming weeks, with any payments going out after mid-February. You can start preparing your taxes now -- through its Free File tax preparation service, if you qualify to use it -- or through a tax-preparation service. The first day the IRS will begin accepting and processing individual tax returns is Feb. 12. The tax-filing deadline is April 15 this year, but you can file a tax extension if you can't make the deadline.
