FOR MOST TAX PAYERS:  The federal deadline for filing tax returns and extensions in 2022 has been extended until April 18, 2022. This is because of the Emancipation Day holiday in the District of Columbia. According to law, holidays in Washington DC impact tax deadlines for everyone else, just like federal holidays.

  • didn't receive an economic impact payment OR
  • didn't receive the entire amount

If you do qualify for this tax credit, the IRS should have sent you a letter on the amount. Use this information on your return.
