Economic Impact Payments are funds to help people during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Third Economic Impact Payments are now on the way.

We’re now sending the Third Economic Impact Payments in accordance with the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, signed into law on March 11, 2021. The IRS is mailing Notice 1444-C to people who received a third Economic Impact Payment. This letter should be kept with tax year 2021 records.

Check the Questions and answers about the Third Economic Impact Payment for more information.

Check when and how your payment was sent with the Get My Payment tool.
