Under the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, the Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Treasury announced via their latest update that one hundred fifty-six million coronavirusstimulus checks have been disbursed to cash-strapped Americans.
While millions of Americans already have seen the payments direct deposited into their respective accounts, there are still plenty of financially struggling taxpayers who have been left on the sidelines. For those who fit into this unfortunate category, keep in mind that they can still try to claim the money that they’re legally entitled to from the U.S. government. For this particular tax season, a Recovery Rebate Credit has been added to all returns, so that people mired in this situation can eventually get their hands on the overdue payments.
