Starting in 2021, the government is providing eligible low-income families with Economic Impact Payments through the American Rescue Plan These stimulus checks can reach the amount of up to $1,400 dollars.

To qualify for these stimulus checks, you must meet some requirements such as income limits, dependent family members, among others. In this case, Individuals with salaries less than $75,000 a year get $1,400.

While married couples who file a joint return with income less than $150,000, receive a stimulus check that reaches $2,800.

Taxpayers who earn up to $80,000 annually may qualify and receive partial payments; however, Married couples earning more than $160,000 per year are not eligible for this program.

Dependent people, such as seniors and college students, will also receive a payment of $1,400 per person.

It should be noted that The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) reported that those taxpayers with tax debts may qualify, In addition, these payments will not be income subject to federal or income taxes.

If you consider that you meet the requirements to receive the stimulus check You can track payment status through the IRS web portal in the “Get my payment” section.. On the platform you can also get additional updates.
