File 2020 Tax Return with the IRS to Receive Missing Economic Impact
Payments



The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued the third round of Economic
Impact Payments (EIP) in April.  Most Social Security beneficiaries and
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients should have received their
EIPs by now. If a person is missing their first or second EIP, they need to
file a 2020 tax return with the IRS and claim the 2020 Recovery Rebate
Credit (RRC) as soon as possible.



Any person who did not receive his or her EIP, or the full amount of their
EIP, please read this carefully. To get any missing first or second EIPs, file
a 2020 tax return with the IRS and claim the 2020 Recovery Rebate Credit
(RRC) immediately. People should file the 2020 tax return even if they have
no income to report for 2020. When the tax return is processed, the IRS
will pay the RRC as a tax refund. The IRS will send any additional third
EIP amount owed in 2021 separately.



If people already filed their 2020 tax return, they do not need to do
anything else.
