Enter Your AGI
Use your Adjusted Gross Income from the relevant tax year: 2019 AGI for Rounds 1 & 2, 2020 AGI for Round 3 (or 2018/2019 if 2020 not yet filed).
Select Filing Status
Choose your filing status for the relevant tax year. MFJ filers receive double the base amount; MFS filers receive the single rate.
Enter Number of Dependents
Round 1 counted qualifying children under 17 ($500 each). Round 2 also added $600 per qualifying child. Round 3 expanded to ALL dependents at $1,400 each.
Review Eligibility Per Round
The calculator shows eligibility and payment amount for each of the three stimulus rounds. You can claim any missed amount as the Recovery Rebate Credit on your tax return.
Suggerimenti
- Round 3 expanded eligible dependents to ALL ages — college students and elderly parents counted for the first time.
- Even non-filers could receive stimulus checks by registering with the IRS Non-Filers tool or filing a simple return.
- Stimulus payments are not taxable income — they do not reduce your refund or increase your tax owed.
- If your 2020 income was lower than 2019, filing your 2020 return early may have increased your Round 3 payment.

What were the three stimulus checks?
Round 1 (CARES Act, April 2020): up to $1,200 single / $2,400 MFJ + $500 per child. Round 2 (CAA, January 2021): up to $600 single / $1,200 MFJ + $600 per child. Round 3 (ARP, March 2021): up to $1,400 single / $2,800 MFJ + $1,400 per dependent (all ages).
What are the income phase-out thresholds?
Rounds 1 & 2 phased out at $5 per $100 over the threshold (complete phase-out: ~$99K single, ~$198K MFJ). Round 3 phased out much faster at $5 per $100 — single fully phased out at $80K, MFJ at $160K.
Which tax year AGI is used?
Rounds 1 & 2 used 2019 AGI (or 2018 if 2019 not filed). Round 3 used 2020 AGI (or 2019 if 2020 not filed). If you received less than you were entitled to based on your actual income, you can claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on your tax return.
What if I did not receive my full stimulus?
If you received less than entitled, claim the Recovery Rebate Credit: on 2020 Form 1040 (Line 30) for Rounds 1 & 2, and on 2021 Form 1040 (Line 30) for Round 3. You can still file an amended return if the deadline has not passed.
