In a recent announcement, the IRS confirmed that it will be sending special payments of up to $1,400 to approximately one million individuals who previously did not receive their stimulus checks. This initiative is part of an ongoing effort to ensure that all eligible citizens benefit from the financial aid provided during the COVID-19 pandemic. The IRS noted that these payments are being initiated for individuals who were not included in the earlier rounds of stimulus checks and who filed tax returns for 2020. These payments are expected to begin being issued by the end of December 2023. IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig emphasized the importance of reaching out to those eligible, stating, ‘We are committed to ensuring that everyone receives the financial support that they are entitled to during these challenging times.’ Individuals who qualify will receive their payments automatically and do not need to take any further action. This move is expected to alleviate financial pressures for many families that have been impacted economically due to the pandemic. The IRS has urged anyone who believes they may qualify to check their eligibility and ensure their tax information is up to date to facilitate the payment process.
