With Stimulus check eligibility, Eligibility for stimulus payments is determined by the IRS based on your adjusted gross income (AGI).
Stimulus check Eligibility
Most eligible people didn’t need to take additional action to get a third payment.
Generally, someone was eligible for the full amount of the third Economic Impact Payment if they:
- are a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien (and their spouse if filing a joint return), and
- are not a dependent of another taxpayer, and
- had adjusted gross income (AGI) that is not more than:
- $150,000 if married and filing a joint return or if filing as a qualifying widow or widower
- $112,500 if filing as head of household or
- $75,000 for any other filing status
Payments were phased out – or reduced – above those AGI amounts. This means people did not receive a payment if their AGI was at least:
- $160,000 if married and filing a joint return or if filing as a qualifying widow or widower
- $120,000 if filing as head of household
- $80,000 for any other filing status
