In a welcome announcement for millions of Americans, the IRS has confirmed a new $2,750 stimulus credit set to be distributed in 2025. This credit is part of the ongoing effort to support households facing financial strain due to rising living costs, inflation, and lingering economic disruptions.
If you filed your taxes recently or are planning to, this new credit could significantly boost your refund — or be issued as a direct payment, depending on your eligibility.
What Is the $2,750 IRS Stimulus Credit?
The $2,750 credit is a refundable tax credit, meaning eligible individuals will receive the full amount even if they owe no taxes. The goal is to provide direct financial support to lower- and middle-income families.
This credit is being automatically applied to 2024 tax returns processed in 2025. It’s separate from previous stimulus programs and is not considered taxable income.
Who Qualifies for the Credit?
To qualify for the $2,750 IRS stimulus credit, individuals must meet the following criteria:
- Filed a 2024 federal income tax return.
- Earned less than $75,000 (single) or $150,000 (married).
- Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident with a valid Social Security Number.
- Not claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer.
Families with dependents, seniors, and disabled individuals may also receive additional credit boosts based on household circumstances.
When Will You Receive the Payment?
According to IRS timelines, eligible filers will begin receiving the $2,750 credit in April through June 2025, depending on when their return was processed. Taxpayers who chose direct deposit will get their payments faster, while those receiving checks by mail may wait slightly longer.
Those who have already filed may have the credit automatically included in their refund. If not, the IRS will issue a separate payment.
