Stimulus check – are they still being sent out?

By Terry Savage on April 11, 2022 | Wild Card

Since I had to paper file my 2020 taxes, I didn’t get my stimulus check when the bulk of them were sent out. In February of this year, the IRS finally processed my tax return. Can I still expect to get the last stimulus check? I believe at the time there was a way for those to be sent out once the tax returns were processed. Is that still the case or was there a “cut off” date for receiving them? Thanks!

NO! They are not still sending out checks. You must file for a credit on your 2021 return — the return that is due next week!
Did you already file for 2021? If so, file an amended return immediately. That will delay things, but if you did not get a stimulus payment this is the only way to get it now.
