I am on SSDI, I live abroad, I never received the 3rd stimulus check got the first 2 tho direct deposit my bank is in the US. I even used Intuit to create my tax return, I faxed 6 pages out on June 23rd and no reply! Calling the IRS from the Philippines is like 30$ (or more if put on hold.) So now, I really don't want it. I've run out of options.
The IRS has stopped sending round 3 stimulus checks. If you qualify, you can claim the money as a rebate added to your 2021 tax return. If you don't normally file a return because your income is not taxable, you can file one just to get the rebate. You may have to create $1 of fake taxable bank interest, because you can't e-file a return with zero income. (This will not result in tax and the IRS knows this issue with their system.)
Before you file your return to claim the rebate, check your IRS online account. If the IRS thinks they sent a stimulus payment, you can't claim the rebate even if you never received the stimulus. You have to trace the missing payment instead.
