The IRS is no longer sending out checks for the first and second stimulus payments. You will have to file a 2020 income tax return to claim them, even if you normally do not file.
The missing amounts will be added to your refund as a Recovery Rebate Credit.
The third stimulus is based on 2020 information. If the IRS does not have 2020 information, it will use 2019 information.
Generally, if you were a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien in 2020, were not a dependent of another taxpayer and have a Social Security number that is valid for employment, you are eligible for the Recovery Rebate Credit. Your credit amount will be reduced if your adjusted gross income (AGI) is more than:
- $150,000 if married and filing a joint return or filing as a qualifying widow or widower
- $112,500 if filing as head of household or
- $75,000 for eligible individuals filing as a single or as married filing separately.
Your payment will be reduced by 5% of the amount by which your AGI exceeds the applicable threshold above.
