Don't Miss Out! April 15, 2025, Is Your Last Chance to Claim the $1,400 Stimulus Check
Hey everyone, if you or someone you know missed out on the third stimulus check back in 2021, listen up—this is really important. The deadline to claim your $1,400 payment is coming up fast, and April 15, 2025, is the absolute last day to get it. That’s right, Tax Day 2025 is your final opportunity to file your 2021 tax return and secure your money before it’s gone for good.
Now, let’s rewind for a second. Back in 2021, as part of the American Rescue Plan, the government issued $1,400 stimulus checks to most taxpayers and an additional $1,400 for each dependent. But here’s the catch: the IRS used 2019 or 2020 tax returns to determine eligibility. If you didn’t file your taxes for those years, you likely missed out on the payment at the time. But don’t worry—the IRS has a solution for you: the Recovery Rebate Credit. This allows eligible taxpayers to claim their missing stimulus check when they file their 2021 taxes.

So, who qualifies? If you were a U.S. citizen or resident alien in 2021, had a valid Social Security number, and weren’t claimed as someone else’s dependent, you may be eligible. Even if you had no income that year, you could still qualify! The income limits are $80,000 for single filers, $160,000 for married couples, and $112,500 for heads of households. If you fall under those limits and never received your third stimulus check, you should absolutely file for that credit before the deadline.
You might be wondering—if I file late, will I get hit with penalties? The good news is that if you’re owed a refund, there are no penalties for filing late. However, if you owe the IRS money from 2021, you could face penalties, but claiming your stimulus check could help offset what you owe. Either way, it’s worth checking.
Now, if this sounds overwhelming, don’t worry. There are free and low-cost tax assistance programs available to help you get this done correctly. You don’t want to leave this money on the table, especially when times are tough.
So, here’s the bottom line: if you haven’t filed your 2021 taxes yet and you missed the third stimulus check, this is your final chance to claim that $1,400. Mark your calendar—April 15, 2025, is the deadline. Don’t let it slip away. Spread the word, check if you qualify, and file your taxes before it’s too late. Your money is waiting for you!
