What rebate are you referring to?

If you're referencing the federal stimulus payments that were released in January, these payments went out to people that hadn't claimed their 2021 stimulus payments that they were eligible.

No one at TT knows if the IRS is sending you the 2021 stimulus $.    The IRS has identified some people who filed 2021 returns and appear to be eligible but who did not use the recovery rebate credit on line 30 of their 2021 return.  The IRS is sending out that money during January to those folks.  We do not know who they are and cannot find out.  If anyone could claim you as a dependent in 2021, you will not be eligible.

 

Look at your online account with the IRS to see if they send you $1400 in 2021.

If you were eligible and do not receive a payment soon from the IRS, the other way to get the payment is to r amend your 2021 return to use the recovery rebate credit before April 15, 2025.   If you did not file a 2021 return at all, then prepare one and mail it in.
