USA – Illinois residents who missed out on COVID stimulus payments in 2021 could automatically receive up to $1,400 from the IRS starting in late January, as part of a $2.4 billion distribution to an estimated 1 million eligible taxpayers. These payments are for individuals who failed to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on their 2021 tax returns. The IRS has detailed eligibility and payment information on its website, and taxpayers will be notified if they qualify.
