Recovery Rebate Credit

Concern and confusion around stimulus check eligibility have been a major topic for U.S. expats. If you are a U.S. citizen or resident with a Social Security number and are within the income brackets, and are not claimed as a dependent by someone else, you qualify for the stimulus checks.

All first and second Economic Impact Payments have been issued by The IRS and Treasury. If you did not receive any Economic Impact Payments or received less than the full amounts, you may qualify for the Recovery Rebate Credit to claim as a credit in lieu of missing stimulus payments for Americans living abroad. If you qualify, you must file a 2020 tax return to claim the credit.
