🕒 The Clock is Ticking: $1,400 IRS Stimulus Check Deadline Ends Today

While most people assumed the stimulus check program was long over, more than 1.1 million Americans are still eligible to claim the $1,400 third stimulus payment—but only if they act before the end of today, April 15, 2025.

The IRS has officially confirmed that this is the final date to file your 2021 tax return to receive the Recovery Rebate Credit, which covers the third round of stimulus checks approved during the pandemic.

💡 Why This Credit Still Exists in 2025

You might be wondering: Why are we still talking about a 2021 stimulus payment in 2025? Great question.

Many people missed the payment for different reasons:

  • They didn’t know they were eligible

  • They didn’t file taxes in 2021

  • They filed but didn’t claim the Recovery Rebate Credit

And guess what? If that’s you, you’re still in luck—but only for a few more hours.

Who Can Still Claim the $1,400 Stimulus Check

You qualify for the $1,400 if:

  • You didn't receive the third stimulus check in 2021

  • You didn’t file your 2021 tax return

  • Or, you filed but didn't claim the Recovery Rebate Credit

Even low-income earners or those with no income may be eligible!

🔐 Important: If you already received the third stimulus payment, you’re not eligible for this credit.

📝 How to Claim It Before It’s Too Late

Here’s what you need to do TODAY:

  1. File your 2021 tax return before midnight (April 15, 2025)

  2. Make sure you claim the Recovery Rebate Credit

  3. You can use the IRS Free File tool or get help from a local tax center

If you already filed your 2021 return but missed the credit, the IRS may send your payment automatically, provided your contact or banking info is up-to-date.

💸 What If You Don’t Act Today?

Unfortunately, after today, you lose the right to claim the money—forever. The IRS has clearly said that April 15, 2025, is the last date to file a late 2021 return to claim any Recovery Rebate Credits.

This could mean leaving $1,400 or more (if you have dependents) on the table—money that’s legally yours.

🔍 IRS Confirms: 1.1 Million Americans Haven’t Claimed It Yet

In a recent press release, the IRS stated that over 1.1 million people are still owed stimulus checks, and they’re urging people to act quickly.

“It’s your money,” the IRS emphasized. “But the window to claim it is closing fast.”

🔚 Final Thoughts: Act Now or Miss Out

If you or someone you know might qualify, share this news now. It’s rare that the government gives you a chance to get money years later—but this is one of those rare moments.

Don’t wait until it’s too late. File today and get what’s rightfully yours. ✅
