Recovery Rebate Credit

The IRS has issued all first, second and third Economic Impact Payments.

Missing a stimulus payment? You may be eligible to claim a Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2020 or 2021 federal tax return if you didn't get an Economic Impact Payment or got less than the full amount.

The first and second rounds of Economic Impact Payments were issued in 2020 and early 2021. The first two rounds of Economic Impact Payments were advance payments of the 2020 Recovery Rebate Credit claimed on a 2020 tax return.

The third round of Economic Impact Payments was issued starting in March 2021 and continued through December 2021. The third round of Economic Impact Payments, including the plus-up payments, were advance payments of the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit claimed on a 2021 tax return.

Most eligible people already received the payments. However, people who are missing stimulus payments should review the information below to determine their eligibility and whether they need to claim a Recovery Rebate Credit for tax year 2020 or 2021.

Find the Amount of Your First, Second and Third Economic Impact Payments
Missing first and second payments may only be claimed on a 2020 tax return. Missing third payments may only be claimed on a 2021 tax return. It is critical that eligible individuals claiming a Recovery Rebate Credit understand that the advance payments applied to different tax years. Depending on which advance payment is missing – the first, second or third payment – you will file either a 2020 or 2021 tax return to claim a Recovery Rebate Credit.

You will need the tax year(s) and amount(s) of the Economic Impact Payments you received to accurately calculate the Recovery Rebate Credit. Enter the amount in your tax preparation software or in the Form 1040 Recovery Rebate Credit Worksheet to calculate your credit.
