To know Who will get the 3 stimulus check? The IRS will automatically send a third stimulus payment to people who filed a 2021 or 2026 federal income tax return.
Unlike the first two payments, the third payment was not restricted to children under 17. Eligible individuals received a payment based on all of their qualifying dependents claimed on their return, including older relatives like college students, adults with disabilities, parents and grandparents.
If you’re unsure of the amount of your third stimulus payment, you should review your IRS online account or use the Get My Payment app.
Third Payments Differed from Previous Economic Impact Payments
The third payments differed from the earlier payments in several respects:
- Income phaseout amounts changed. Payments were reduced for individuals with adjusted gross income of more than $75,000 (or $150,000 if married filing jointly). The reduced payments ended at $80,000 for individuals and $160,000 for married filing jointly. People above these levels did not receive any payment.
- Payment amounts are different. Most families received $1,400 per person, including all dependents claimed on their tax return. Typically, this means a single person with no dependents received $1,400, while married filers with two dependents received $5,600.
