Still Missing Your $1,400 Stimulus? Here’s How to Find Out If You Qualify

Millions of Americans have already received their $1,400 stimulus checks, but some may still be wondering where their payment is or if they even qualify.

If you haven’t received yours, there’s still a chance you could claim it through the IRS Recovery Rebate Credit.
 

Who Can Still Receive the $1,400 Stimulus?

The IRS automatically processed most payments, but some individuals may have been overlooked. You could still be eligible if:

• You didn’t claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2021 tax return.

• The IRS did not have your updated banking or mailing information.

• You recently filed a 2023 tax return, which may make you eligible retroactively.
   

How to Track Your Payment?

If you’re unsure whether you’ve received your stimulus, the IRS offers a simple way to check:

1. Go to IRS.gov and log into your account.

2. Navigate to the Tax Records section.

3. Look for the Economic Impact Payment Information tab.
    

What If Your Payment Is Missing?

If the IRS tool confirms you haven’t received the payment, you may need to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit by:

• Filing an amended tax return for the 2020 or 2021 tax year.

• Checking if your bank details or mailing address need updating with the IRS.
   

IRS Notices That May Indicate Eligibility

The IRS previously sent out three notices regarding stimulus payments:

• Notice 1444 – Details on the first stimulus check (2020)

• Notice 1444-B – Information about the second stimulus payment (2020)

• Notice 1444-C – Confirmation of the third payment (2021)

If you didn’t receive any of these, you may still be able to claim your missing money.
 

What to Do Next?

• Double-check your IRS account to confirm your payment status.

• File an amended tax return if you believe you were eligible but didn’t receive the funds.

• Stay informed by visiting the official IRS Economic Impact Payments page.

If you’re still waiting for your $1,400 stimulus, don’t assume you missed out—take action today to see if you can still claim your payment!
