The IRS and Treasury have issued all first and second Economic Impact Payments. If you have questions about your payments, visit the Economic Impact Payments Information Center.

If you didn’t get any Economic Impact Payments or got less than the full amounts, you may qualify for the Recovery Rebate Credit and must file a 2020 tax return to claim the credit even if you don’t normally file. See Recovery Rebate Credit for more information.

If you’re eligible for the credit, and either the IRS didn’t issue you any Economic Impact Payments or they issued less than the full amounts, you must file a 2020 tax return to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit even if you are not required to file a tax return for 2020. For more detailed information see the Recovery Rebate Credit Frequently Asked Questions.
