How do I know if I qualify for the recovery rebate credit from 2021 that will be sent out

[xmasbaby0]

Did you file a 2021 tax return?   Were you eligible for the stimulus for 2021?   Was there an amount on line 30 of your 2021 Form 1040?    

If someone could claim you as a dependent for 2021 you were not eligible then and will not be eligible now.

Check your own bank account for deposits of the stimulus checks, and check your online account with the IRS to see what the IRS shows they sent to you.

Try checking your online account with the IRS (and if you filed a joint return—check for BOTH of you)

If you need to trace a payment that the IRS says has been issued to you, mail or fax a completed IRS Form 3911, Taxpayer Statement Regarding Refund.

To have been eligible for the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit, you must:

•               Have been a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien in 2021.
•               Not have been a dependent of another taxpayer for 2021.
•               Have a valid Social Security number issued by the due date of the tax return.
•               You may qualify for the credit if you were eligible for payment but did not receive one, did not receive the full amount, your income made you eligible, or you had a child in 2020 or 2021 after receiving your stimulus payment5.

If you were eligible and did not receive the rebate then you have to do nothing.  You will receive a check in the mail next month.
