A letter in the mail from Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will be the confirmation that the agency sent you the stimulus check of the second round, whose distribution began this week in coordination with the Treasury Department.
To the document, a kind of proof of payment, it is known as Notice 1444.
This notice provides information about the amount of your payment, how it was made, and how to report any amounts owed.
“For security reasons, the IRS mails this notice to each recipient’s last known address within 15 days of payment. It is especially important for people to keep this notice if they think their payment amount is wrong. When they file their 2020 tax return, they can refer to Notice 1444 and claim additional credits, if they are eligible for them, ”the IRS indicates on its website.
The tax office recommends that beneficiaries keep the notice with their tax documents in case of claim.
This week, the aforementioned agencies began the process of distributing the “Economic Impact Payments” under the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 recently approved in the United States Congress to alleviate the economic effects of the coronavirus.
The statute provides for minimum payments of $ 600 and the same amount for each dependent in the family.
Authorities expect to complete the dispatch of most checks by mid-January, including direct deposits, paper checks and prepaid debit cards. In the event that, being eligible, you do not receive the funds by that date, you must claim the money due during the upcoming tax season as a “Refund Recovery Credit.
