"There is no penalty for failure to file if a refund is due. However, a return claiming a refund must be filed within three years of its due date for a refund to be allowed," the IRS noted, meaning that the last day to claim the money is April 15, 2025.

To check your U.S. federal tax refund status, use the IRS "Where's My Refund?" tool or IRS2Go app on IRS.gov, needing your Social Security number/ITIN, filing status, and exact refund amount; for state refunds, check your specific state's Department of Revenue website.

Yes, it is too late to claim any COVID-19 stimulus money, as the final deadline to claim the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit (the third stimulus payment) passed on April 15, 2025, and earlier deadlines for the first two payments also expired. The IRS only allows a three-year window to file for refunds and credits, meaning you can no longer claim these missed payments by filing old tax returns.
A million tax filers got letters from the IRS in December indicating they had money coming to them because they were eligible to receive the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit but didn't claim it on their 2021 federal tax return. Those checks were sent out by late January, the IRS says.
If you've paid too much tax, you might be owed a rebate. At the end of each tax year, which runs between 6 April and 5 April, HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) works out whether you paid the right amount of tax. HMRC usually issues tax rebates automatically, but you can claim one if you think you've overpaid tax.
For FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27) under the New Tax Regime: A resident individual with a taxable income not exceeding Rs. 12 lakh is eligible for a tax rebate of up to Rs. 60,000.
