Have you heard news about getting $1400 from the Internal Revenue Service and are looking for the reality behind it? If yes, you are on the right page. Here, we have shared what you need to know about this payout.
IRS $1400 Direct Deposit
The direct deposit for $1400 was received in 2022 by millions of individuals under the American Rescue Plan as an Economic Impact Payment. It was received by those who claimed the recovery rebate credit for the tax year 2021.
The deadline to claim this payment was April 15, 2025; those who won’t have claimed it in tax seasons 2022, 2023, and 2024 will do so in 2025. Those who claimed it by the deadline have already received the payout.
What to do if I don’t get it?
The IRS has sent the payout of $1400 for each individual who has claimed the recovery rebate credit in tax season 2022, 2023, 2024, or 2025. To claim it in the 2024 tax season, one was required to claim it with 2022 returns.
Individuals who didn’t claim it in the 2022 tax season had to file an amended tax return for the tax year 2021 by April 15, 2025. If you don’t claim it because of ignorance, you have no more time to do so.
If you haven’t received this payment even after claiming the recovery rebate credit, in this case you should get in touch with the IRS. Before doing so, I will recommend you to check the status of your amended return.
