In the United States, the IRS can sometimes provide us with very pleasant economic surprises in the form of stimulus checks. Taxpayers who did not claim the Refund Recovery Credit on their 2021 tax returns will receive automatic stimulus checks from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) worth up to $1,400.
The distribution of these payments, which are part of a $2.4 billion package, began in December 2024 and will last until the end of January 2025. Beneficiaries include those who received less than the required amount or failed to receive the third economic impact payment during the epidemic.
In this regard, the IRS processes these stimulus payments through paper checks or bank accounts of record; taxpayers are not required to take any additional action. So it’s good news for the groups of Americans hoping to receive one of these additional payments.

Who is eligible for the IRS stimulus check?
To qualify, filers must have filed their 2021 tax returns and earn less than $75,000 for individuals, $150,000 for married couples, and $112,500 for heads of household. Those who have not yet filed their 2021 taxes have until April 15, 2025 to do so and qualify for the credit.
Furthermore, several states are implementing additional stimulus plans. For example, Alaska’s Permanent Dividend Fund pays $1,702 to its citizens, and Sacramento, California, has established a $725 monthly assistance program for 200 low-income families that will last until November 2025.
To ensure that more people receive the assistance they require, these economic stimulus packages aim to reduce the financial burden that recent economic difficulties have imposed on residents.
Aside from the other stimulus checks, the IRS check payment is completely automatic, so we don’t have to do anything to receive it. If we have paid our previous years’ taxes and sent the Tax Return, we will receive the payment if we qualify.
