All Americans are experiencing the negative effects of inflation, and many are becoming even more indebted as a result. Some states are offering stimulus checks to help taxpayers get through these difficult times.
A few states have already made stimulus payments for 2022. Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy said that qualified Alaskans whose applications were accepted by September 9 will receive $3,200 payments from the state's Permanent Fund Dividends.
Stimulus checks started to arrive in early October for those who requested a paper check or filed on paper. For residents, this sum is more than usual due to the addition of a $650 energy assistance payment.
According to GoBankingRates, the eligible citizens who qualified for the Colorado Cash Back assistance program got their payments by September 30. The amounts were $750 for single filers and $1,500 for joint filers.
Stimulus Checks Per State
Let's look at which other states are delivering stimulus checks this fall, as well as the important dates that eligible citizens should mark on their calendars.
California
The deadline for receiving stimulus checks for eligible Californians who electronically filed their taxes was October 25. Checks will be sent to those who submitted on paper between October 28 and November 14. The ranges are $200 to $1,050.
Illinois
In 2021, Illinois distributed $50 stimulus checks to anyone with incomes under $200,000. On September 12, the state started distributing stimulus checks, estimating that it would take around eight weeks to distribute payments to everyone who was eligible.
Indiana
Indiana taxpayers who qualify will likely get $200 in late October. If residents haven't gotten their payments, the state encouraged them to wait until November 1 before calling the Department of Revenue.
Rhode Island
There are $250-$750 in child tax rebates being sent out in October to eligible parents who submitted an original or modified tax return by August 31.
Virginia
Virginia residents who met the requirements and submitted their tax returns by September 5 were expected to get their refunds by October 31 ($250 for single filers, $500 for joint filers).
South Carolina
From $100 to $800 in tax refunds are anticipated to be issued in late November or early December. The deadline for filing a "South Carolina Individual Income Tax return (SC1040) for the tax year 2021 by October 17, 2022" is required to get the check, which will be issued by December 31, 2022, to those who have done so.
New York
New Yorkers who filed state tax returns for 2021 and were eligible for the Empire State Child Credit and/or the Earned Income Credit will be able to receive an average payment of $270 later this month. Receiving the money entails no further action, as per AS.com.
Unclaimed Stimulus Checks Tracker
The IRS states that you may anticipate receiving a processed tax return in 21 days if you file online or between six and eight weeks if you mail everything in. The IRS noted that about 6 million individual returns were awaiting processing on September 30. In 2021, some of them were sent by taxpayers.
Taxpayers will no longer utilize the Get My Payment app to verify the status of their payments, according to the IRS. To find the amount owing by the IRS, they need either register an online account on the IRS Pay page or see IRS Notice 1444-C.
If you get a notice saying that your payment status wasn't accessible, you might use the worksheet to see if you qualify for the "recovery rebate credit" and then claim it.
Per Marca, the IRS requires more information about your tax returns in order to deliver your rebate online, so if you see the phrase "Need More Information," they need it. To check the sum of your three stimulus payments, go into your personal IRS account and choose "economic impact payment information."
