The IRS began issuing Letter 6475, Economic Impact Payment (EIP) 3 End of Year, in January 2022.
This letter helps EIP recipients determine if they’re eligible to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on their 2021 tax year returns. This letter provides the total amount of the third Economic Impact Payment and any plus-up payments received for tax year 2021. For married individuals filing a joint return, each spouse will receive their own letter showing half of the total amount.
Letter 6475 only applies to the third round of EIP issued between March 2021 and December 2021. This includes “plus-up” payments.
Plus-up payments were additional EIP 3 payments the IRS sent to people who:
- Received a third Economic Impact Payment based on a 2019 tax return or information receive from Social Security Administration, Railroad Retirement Board or Veterans Administration, and
- Were eligible for an additional amount based on their 2020 tax return
Most eligible people already received the full amount they are entitled to receive. Anyone who did not receive the full amount they are entitled to should review the payment information to determine whether they should claim the Recovery Rebate Credit for tax year 2021.
