How do I get my stimulus check if I just filed my taxes?

When do I get my tax stimulus check?
The IRS is sending $1,200 to individuals with an annual adjusted gross income below $75,000 and $2,400 to married couples filing taxes jointly who earn under $150,000, plus $500 per qualifying child.

When to claim the stimulus check for 2020?
If your financial situation changed after you filed your 2019 tax return — for example, if you received less income — you can claim that additional amount on your 2020 tax return when you file this year. If you weren’t required to file a tax return, you can still qualify for a stimulus check.

When you file your taxes this year, it’ll be time to claim any missing stimulus check money from the first two checks as a Recovery Rebate Credit. To help get your money quicker, you’ll also want to take the time to set up direct deposit so you’re not waiting on a paper check to arrive.
Is it too late to get a stimulus check?
