$1,200
The CAREs Act included a provision for a round of stimulus payments – eligible tax-paying adults received a check of up to $1,200 while eligible dependents under 16 years of age received $500 each (a maximum of three dependents could be claimed for).
the first Economic Impact Payment was $1,200 ($2,400 if married filing jointly) plus $500 for each qualifying child you had in 2020; and. the second Economic Impact Payment was $600 ($1,200 if married filing jointly) plus $600 for each qualifying child you had in 2020.
$1,400 per person
Most families received $1,400 per person, including all dependents claimed on their tax return. Typically, this means a single person with no dependents received $1,400, while married filers with two dependents received $5,600. Qualifying dependents expanded.
$500 per child
The first round gave just $500 per child dependent vs. $1,200 for adults, while the second round gave $600 checks to both. Dependents that are 17 or older are also included in this round of stimulus.
$600 per
You probably heard that you'll be getting a second stimulus check from the IRS as part of the latest economic stimulus law passed by Congress. This time, the base amount will be $600 per eligible person (which is half of what was given for the first round of payments under the CARES Act).
$1,400

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, signed into law on March 11, 2021, authorized a third round of Economic Impact Payments and required them to be issued by December 31, 2021. The IRS began issuing these payments on March 12, 2021 and continued through the end of the year.
The third stimulus check was sent out to eligible American families starting back in March 2021 as part of the American Rescue Plan Act. And while the Internal Revenue Service has announced they've now sent out all qualified payments, they say some families may still be leaving money on the table.

As of December 2021, the IRS had issued more than 175million stimulus checks worth $400billion under the third round of federal stimulus. However, some Americans might still be owed $1,400 checks. In fact, millions of Americans might get federal stimulus payments during the tax season this year.
As a result of the Coronavirus Pandemic, the US government has launched three stimulus check payments during 2020 and 2021.
If you did not get one of the other stimulus payments that went out in 2020, you can use the recovery rebate credit to get your payment. You must either file an amended 2020 tax return or file a new 2020 return if you did not file a tax return for that year. The IRS began accepting 2021 income tax returns on Jan. 24.

If you're married and filed a joint tax return, half of your third stimulus payment might be delayed. That's because the IRS is sending two separate payments to some joint filers. (Don't ask me why.) The first half may come as a direct deposit, which you may have already received.
