Many Americans may still be eligible to receive a $1,400 stimulus payout as the April 15, 2025 tax deadline approaches.

Overview

  • The April 15, 2025 deadline marks the last chance for eligible taxpayers to claim their $1,400 Recovery Rebate Credit from the 2021 tax year.
  • Approximately 1.1 million Americans have yet to claim their stimulus payments, with over $1 billion in refunds remaining unclaimed, according to the IRS.
  • Eligibility includes individuals who did not file a 2021 tax return, regardless of income, and those who filed but failed to claim the credit.
  • The full $1,400 is available to single filers with adjusted gross incomes of up to $75,000 and married couples earning up to $150,000, with phase-outs for higher incomes.
  • Taxpayers who miss the April 15 deadline will permanently lose the opportunity to claim these funds, as unclaimed amounts will revert to the U.S. Treasury.
