IRS to Issue $2.4 Billion in Recovery Rebate Credit Payments to One Million Taxpayers
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has announced it will distribute approximately $2.4 billion in stimulus payments to eligible taxpayers who were qualified for the Recovery Rebate Credit (RRC) in 2021 but did not claim it. Around one million taxpayers will receive these payments automatically, either through direct deposit or paper checks, by late January.
The Recovery Rebate Credit is intended for individuals who missed one or more Economic Impact Payments (stimulus payments) distributed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The IRS’s review found that many taxpayers who filed a 2021 tax return did not claim the RRC, even though they were eligible.

IRS Commissioner Danney Werfel stated that internal reviews revealed many taxpayers overlooked the RRC due to its complexity. Rather than requiring taxpayers to file an amended return, the IRS is issuing these payments automatically to minimize inconvenience.
These automatic Recovery Rebate Credit payments will bring relief to taxpayers who missed out on earlier stimulus payments during the pandemic. Eligible individuals can expect their funds by late January, with no additional action required for those who have already filed their returns. For those yet to file, submitting a 2021 tax return remains the pathway to claim their share of this federal assistance.
