IRS issues missed tax credit payments

BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – More money could be in your pocket thanks to the federal government.

This week, the Internal Revenue Service announced a plan to issue automatic payments to people who didn’t claim the recovery rebate credit on their 2021 tax returns.

The decision comes after a review showed many eligible tax payers didn’t claim the credit, which was for people who didn’t get one or more stimulus payments.

About 1 million Americans will get the check.

If you’re eligible, you don’t need to do anything – the payments go out automatically this month.
