How to Claim Your IRS Stimulus Check Before It's Too Late

October, 2024

If you missed out on receiving your stimulus check, you still have time to claim it, but the window is closing fast. The IRS has issued reminders for individuals who are eligible for a stimulus payment but haven't received it yet. This could include those who didn’t file a tax return, low-income families, or others who may not typically interact with the IRS.

To claim your check, you need to file a 2023 tax return even if you normally don’t. You can use the IRS’s free file service to do this easily. Make sure to check the eligibility criteria and deadlines to ensure you receive your payment.

Who Can Still Claim a Stimulus Check?

Individuals who didn't file a 2021 or 2022 tax return but were eligible for a stimulus payment
