Second Stimulus Payment Calculator

Use this second stimulus calculator below to determine what your second stimulus payment amount should have been due to the COVID-related Tax Relief Act of 2020, passed by Congress on December 21, 2020, and signed by the president. Important: The IRS tax stimulus checks are no longer being issued as of December 31, 2021. See more details about the second stimulus payment. If you did not get your stimulus 1 and/or 2 payments, you can claim them on your 2020 Tax Return as the Recovery Rebate Credit.

What Is My Second Stimulus?

See information about all stimulus checks or Economic Impact Payments and how to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit if you did not receive the first and/or second Economic Impact Payment or EIP. This tax credit must be claimed by filing back taxes for a 2020 Return as it is part of the 2020 Credit. See the third stimulus payment and claim the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit by filing a 2021 Return. You cannot claim any stimulus payments by filing a 2022 Return because there is no fourth stimulus check - sign up here to e-file your 2022 Taxes if you plan on filing.

Important: See how to file a 2020 or 2021 Return to claim Stimulus Checks 1, 2, and 3.

Use this eFile.com tool to help you determine how much money you should receive as part of the Tax Relief Act of 2020 or Second Stimulus Payment.
