Those individuals who are entitled for the Recovery Rebate Credit but did not claim it on their 2021 tax returns will be eligible to receive automatic reimbursements in late January, according to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which has revealed intentions to do so as part of continuous efforts to assist taxpayers.
In light of the fact that a significant number of taxpayers who were qualified for the credit filed a return but did not claim it, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) made the announcement of the extraordinary measure.
People who did not receive one or more Economic Impact Payments (EIP), commonly known as stimulus payments, are eligible to earn a credit that is entirely refundable. This credit is known as the Recovery Rebate Credit.
Taxpayers who are qualified to receive these payments will not be required to take any action in order to receive them. These payments will be distributed automatically in December and should arrive in the majority of cases by the end of January 2019.

Those taxpayers who are qualified for the payment will also receive a separate letter informing them of the payment. Payments will be transferred immediately into their bank accounts or mailed out automatically via paper check.
Payments are subject to change based on a number of circumstances; nonetheless, the maximum payment that can be made to an individual is $1,400. It is anticipated that the total amount of payments that will be made would be around $2.4 billion.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) also reminded taxpayers who have not yet submitted their tax returns for the year 2021 that they may also be eligible for the credit; however, they have until April 15, 2025 to file their taxes and claim the credit as well as any other refunds that they may be entitled to.
These payments are expected to be completed by the end of January 2025 for taxpayers who are eligible for the credit but did not claim any portion of it on their tax return for the year 2021.
The payment will be paid to either the address that is on record or the bank account that is specifically stated in the taxpayer’s tax return for the year 2023.
The individual taxpayer who is going to receive these 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit payments will receive a letter from the Internal Revenue Service.
It is not necessary for taxpayers to take any action if they have closed their bank account since filing their tax return for the year 2023.
The payment will be sent back to the Internal Revenue Service via the bank, and the refund will be sent to the address that is on file.
It is possible that taxpayers who did not file a tax return for the year 2021 will be eligible to claim the credit if they return their taxes.

Taxpayers who are eligible for a Recovery Rebate Credit but have not yet filed their tax returns are required to do so in order to claim the credit, regardless of whether or not their income from a job, business, or other source was small or non-existent.
