Still waiting for stimulus

By Terry Savage on November 16, 2021 | Wild Card

Hi,

My son has not received the last 2 stimulus checks. He received the first one. He filed his 2019 and 2020 taxes in July of 2020. What is the best way to handle this?

Terry Says

The best way to handle this is for him to wait until Spring of 2022 when he files his 2021 tax return. He can claim both payments as a refundable credit.
But in the meantime, he can go to the IRS website and check on their status using the Get My Payment tool at this link.
