I.R.S. to Send Out Unclaimed Tax Credit to One Million Taxpayers
Published On Dec 23, 2024, 6:23 PM
The IRS is distributing automatic payments of up to $1,400 to approximately one million taxpayers who were eligible for the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit but did not claim it. This initiative is expected to total around $2.4 billion in payments by the end of January 2025. Eligible individuals include single taxpayers earning under $80,000, married couples making under $160,000, and heads of households earning below $112,500, provided they filed a tax return in 2021. Payments will be sent automatically based on the latest tax information and will vary based on individual household circumstances.
