During the month of March 2021, when many people had not yet filed their 2020 tax returns, a round of stimulus checks was distributed. However, the pandemic significantly impacted many people’s incomes between 2019 and 2020, particularly in the United States. Due to outdated tax returns, some people may have received less money than entitled.

The Plus-Up Payments For Eligible Recipients
According to MARCA, the Internal Revenue Service prioritizes Plus-Up Payments, which many Americans are eligible for. More aid will be given to Americans before the end of 2021 due to these funds being returned. In the United States, some people will receive a surprise plus-up stimulus check worth up to $1,400 before the New Year, but only if they’ve registered in advance.
“Plus up” payments are available to taxpayers with lower income in 2020 than they had in 2019. Anyone who claimed an elderly or disabled dependent on their tax return in 2020 is in the same boat. However, due to the expiration of checks on December 31, there are only two weeks left to sign up. This can be done by submitting a tax return for 2020, as per The Sun.

Two Weeks To Process The Plus-Up Payments
Within two weeks of receiving a tax return for 2020, the IRS typically processes plus-up payments. If eligible recipients haven’t received their stimulus payment yet, they can track it using the IRS’s online tool. According to Forbes, there are two options for receiving plus-up payments: You can either accept them directly from the IRS or have them sent to you via paper check in the mail.
To receive a plus-up payment, eligible recipients only need to file their 2020 tax return, and the IRS will take care of the rest, according to the agency. Americans have until December 31 to file their tax return if they believe they are eligible for a plus-up payment.
