After you file
I am pleased to hear that you received your first stimulus payment. Do you mean that you have yet to receive your second stimulus payment?
If you are eligible to receive an Economic Impact Payment and either:
- Did not receive Economic Impact Payments, or
- If you think you qualify for more than you received,
you will need to file a 2020 tax return and claim the Recovery Rebate Credit even if you otherwise are not required to file a tax return.
The best way to file a complete and accurate return is to file electronically. The tax software will ask you questions about your income, credits and deductions and will help you figure your Recovery Rebate Credit.
If your income is $72,000 or less, you can use brand-name software to prepare and file your Federal tax return electronically for free with IRS Free File. IRS Free File is a great option for people who are only filing a tax return to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit. TurboTax has a Free File version.
The safest and fastest way to get a tax refund (which would include your Recovery Rebate Credit) is to combine electronic filing with direct deposit.
