To receive your Stimulus Check or expanded child tax credit, you must file your taxes before the deadline.
Although the vast majority of American households have already received their payments, there are still millions of people who have not even tried to collect. Your prompt attention is required if you have not gotten yours.
Many people are still waiting for reimbursements because they either did not file a tax return (since they were not aware they had to) or because they asked for an extension. In both cases, the IRS used tax returns to establish qualification for the Stimulus Checks. If you qualify for one of these groups, the time to get your funds is quickly running out.
Stimulus Check Deadline Is Almost Here
The deadline for filing your tax return to claim any Stimulus Checks, including Stimulus Checks and child tax credits, is detailed below. Check with your state’s department of revenue to learn if it is sending out stimulus checks this week.
Your Stimulus Check is due to you by the tax filing deadline, which depends on whether or not you are obliged to file your taxes. If you file as a single taxpayer and make less than $12,550 per year, you are normally exempt from this.
If you are not usually needed to file taxes but yet want to get your hands on any leftover stimulus or child tax credit money, you have until Tuesday, November 15 to fill out a simplified tax return. About a month from now. The IRS’s free file portal will be accessible until November 17 as a public service.
For those who either needed more time to file their taxes this year and filed an extension or have not filed yet, the deadline to do so was October 17. Additionally, Form 1040 had to be sent by that date to not incur a late filing penalty.
Recent natural catastrophes, such as Hurricane Ian, have extended the deadline for filing disaster claims to February 15, 2023. You have until November 15th to file if you live in a state or territory where the Federal Emergency Management Agency has declared a catastrophe. This includes states like Kentucky and Missouri.
