Claim $1,400 stimulus check by April 15 deadline

The IRS is offering thousands of Americans a chance to claim up to $1400 in stimulus money by April 15, 2025. To receive these funds, taxpayers must file a 2021 tax return. If they do not file by the deadline, the unclaimed funds will go to the US Treasury and will be lost forever. There is a three-year period for claiming a tax refund, including refundable credits and stimulus payments related to the 2021 tax year. The deadline to file for this money is April 15, 2025. Many Americans still have a chance to receive this payment if they file the correct forms in time. To qualify for the $1400 refund, your income must be under $150,000 if filing jointly. You also need to be a US citizen or resident with a valid Social Security Number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. You cannot have previously claimed this refund and must file Form 1040 on time. If you miss the April 15 deadline, you will lose the entire stimulus payment. The IRS will not issue any extensions or grace periods for regular taxpayers. However, there are some exceptions for military personnel in combat zones and others with specific IRS issues. A last-minute change in legislation could potentially extend the claiming period.
