ECONOMIC IMPACT PAYMENT or the Recovery Rebate Credit

Three rounds of the Economic Impact Payments were issued with 2020 and 2021 federal tax returns.

  • The first and second rounds of Economic Impact Payments were issued in 2020 and early 2021 These were advance payments of the 2020 Recovery Rebate Credit claimed on a 2020 tax return.
  • The third round of Economic Impact Payments were between March 2021 and December 2021. These payments, including the plus-up payments, were advance payments of the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit claimed on a 2021 tax return.

Most eligible people have already received the payments. However, people who are missing stimulus payments should review the information on the IRS webpage to determine their eligibility and whether they need to claim a Recovery Rebate Credit for tax year 2020 or 2021.
