If you have not received your full stimulus payment amounts, you must file your 2021 tax return to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit. The only way to claim this credit is to file your 2021 taxes even if you don't usually file.

The last day to file your 2021 taxes is April 15, 2022
If you are not ready to file or need some extra time to find your previous stimulus payments information, make sure to request an extension to file your taxes.
This way you won't be penalized if you miss the April 15 deadline.
The extension deadline is October 15, 2022
Even if you don't usually file taxes, if you did not receive your initial stimulus payments or you believe you were eligible for more - you will have to file a tax return for 2020 or 2021.
The only way to get the funds you did not receive is to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2020 or 2021 tax return.
