Sorry--it is too late. The deadline to file a 2021 return to seek the recovery rebate credit was April 15, 2025.
**Disclaimer: Every effort has been made to offer the most correct information possible. The poster disclaims any legal responsibility for the accuracy of the information that is contained in this post.**
The IRS issued three stimulus payments (two in 2020 and one in 2021). It's too late to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit for 2020 and 2021. The IRS began issuing payments to eligible people who didn't claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on their 2021 tax returns, so you don't need to do anything to get these payments.
The deadline for a 2021 refund is Postmark today, April 18th 2025 unless you filed for an extension of time for your 2021 tax return.. If you put it in US Post Office mailslot today before collection time, it should work.
