6. You had a child in 2021
Parents of any kid who was born in 2021, will be suitable to receive $1,400. This also applied to the 2021 child tax credits which are bigger than $3,600 for kids under 6 years old and $3,000 for kids between 6 and 17 years old. This will be such a relief! After so much money spent on diapers, you’ll be able to get some money back.
7. You had a child in 2020 but the IRS used your 2019 return
You had a child in 2020 and the IRS processed the third stimulus check using your 2019 return? No worries because if you haven’t received $1,400 up until now you should get the stimulus credit when your 2021 return is processed.
Note: The deadline for filing your taxes is Monday, April 18, 2022. Make sure you file your taxes by this time in order to avoid penalties. Keep in mind that if you are not available to do this until Monday, you can request an extension. It might be easier to complete it online as well, but it will take them up to 21 days or more to give you the refund! Chose whatever fits you.
Do you know that the Treasury Department found that in September 644,705 people still had not received a third stimulus check? Make sure you read any additional information regarding this issue and about how you can apply for the stimulus check.
