More than 10 million Americans are worthy of stimulus checks, though they aren’t aware of it. And to claim the payments or the three rounds of checks one needs to file taxes or fill out the form, but one procrastinates.
Stimulus Checks Payment Dates Are Approaching
The Stimulus Payments scheme government started at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 march when the whole world was falling apart. The unemployment rate increased back then triple than usual. Citizens not only in the states but worldwide lost jobs without being given a proper notice period.
And the American government officials came up with a master plan to keep their heads out of the mud, and not let them fall into massive debts. The scheme has begun in 2020 April and continued till 2021 December. Around $931 billion were paid as a stimulus check to citizens.
The government officials have made everyone conscious about the dates are approaching and filings are closing. Even if some are not alerted yet, the officials have decided not to reach them anymore. Some are even eligible for child tax credit payments but aren’t aware yet. Those who missed the annual tax filing back in April have one day left to file that and claim the deserving.
Taxpayers who haven’t paid their taxes can opt for IRS Free File Tool. The government or the Government Accountability Office kept on reminding the eligibility and criteria for citizens and closing dates are near to file taxes with filing the form of the stimulus payments. And there are still billions of people left to file taxes and receive payments.
According to the GAO report, the IRS and treasury team will reach out to individuals to aware of the situation regarding stimulus checks and other payments. Some underdeveloped areas aren’t aware of the cause of not having internet and daily newspaper services at their doorstep.
