Some taxpayers in Mississippi may be receiving a $1,400 stimulus check this month, but it depends on 2021 tax returns. Here's what we know.

The IRS will soon distribute $2.4 billion worth of stimulus checks to taxpayers who didn't claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on their 2021 tax return.

Individuals who have not yet filed their 2021 tax returns can still qualify for the payment, but they must file these by April 15.

In 2020, the world faced an unprecedented challenge as the COVID-19 pandemic swept across the globe, leading to widespread economic turmoil. In response, the U.S. government introduced a series of stimulus checks to support those most affected.

The IRS is on a mission to ensure that more than a million eligible Americans receive their pending $1,400 stimulus checks. If you haven't filed your 2021 taxes yet, there's still time.
