IRS to send unclaimed tax rebates to 1M Americans
Published On Dec 26, 2024, 10:42 AM
The IRS is set to automatically send out payments to approximately 1 million taxpayers who did not claim the Recovery Rebate Credit due to oversight in their 2021 tax returns. The payments, which are expected by late January 2025, aim to distribute around $2.4 billion across eligible individuals, with a maximum of $1,400 per person based on eligibility. This initiative is part of the IRS's efforts to improve taxpayer support and reduce the cumbersome process of filing amended returns for those entitled to this credit.
