This year the IRS sent a stimulus check to every qualifying American that amounted to $1,200, with the addition of $500 for every child. The talk of a second round of stimulus checks has been buzzing around since the summer with no set dates or certainty when they will be decided on, or when they will be distributed. While this money has been an aid for many Americans, it comes with a lot of questions. A question on many people’s minds is, “Do I have to claim my stimulus check on my taxes?”
Under the Cares Act, the stimulus checks Americans have received will be treated as a fully refundable tax credit for 2020. This means you will not have to include the money you receive in your gross income, so it will not be taxed by the government. However, the stimulus check is considered an advance on your 2020 tax credit, which means you will be required to report the stimulus when you do file your taxes for the year.
While the term, “refundable credit,” has caused widespread upset online, it is important to note that your 2020 tax return and any refund you’re due when you file that return in early 2021 will not be impacted by the stimulus check you have received.
