American Rescue Plan Changes Can Boost Refunds for Many Families; People Should File Even if They Haven’t For Years | IR-2022-29
The IRS urged Americans to file a 2021 federal income tax return so they can take advantage of key tax benefits included in the American Rescue Plan and other recent legislation.
Often, individuals and families can get these expanded tax benefits, even if they have little or no income from a job, business, or other source. This means that many people who don’t normally need to file a return should consider doing so this year. Because claiming these benefits could result in tax refunds for many people, individuals should file an accurate return electronically and choose direct deposit to avoid processing delays and speed delivery of their refund.
