The IRS reminds taxpayers that the income levels in this new round of stimulus payments have changed. Under the new law, an EIP3 cannot be offset to pay various past-due federal debts or back taxes. A payment will not be added to an existing EIP card mailed for the first or second round of stimulus payments. This is similar to the first and second rounds of Economic Impact Payments, often referred to as EIP1 and EIP2.įor those who received EIP1 or EIP2 but don't receive a payment via direct deposit, they will generally receive a check or, in some instances, a prepaid debit card (referred to as an "EIP Card). In addition, the IRS will automatically send EIP3 to people who didn't file a return but receive Social Security retirement, survivor or disability benefits (SSDI), Railroad Retirement benefits, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Veterans Affairs benefits. If the IRS has received and processed a taxpayer's 2020 return, the agency will instead make the calculation based on that return. This includes anyone who successfully registered online at IRS.gov using the agency's Non-Filers tool last year, or alternatively, submitted a special simplified tax return to the IRS. The third round of Economic Impact Payments (EIP3) will be based on the taxpayer's latest processed tax return from either 2020 or 2019. A payment date for this group will be announced shortly. Social Security and other federal beneficiaries will generally receive this third payment the same way as their regular benefits. Some Americans may see the direct deposit payments as pending or as provisional payments in their accounts before the official payment date of March 17.īecause these payments are automatic for most eligible people, contacting either financial institutions or the IRS on payment timing will not speed up their arrival. As with the first two Economic Impact Payments in 2020, most Americans will receive their money without having to take any action. In general, most people will get $1,400 for themselves and $1,400 for each of their qualifying dependents claimed on their tax return. We urge people to visit IRS.gov for the latest details on the stimulus payments, other new tax law provisions and tax season updates."
