Despite social media speculation about a new federal stimulus payment, the IRS has confirmed that there will be no such deposits in September 2025.
Some states, such as New York, will provide one-time inflation rebate payments to millions of eligible taxpayers.
There is no new federal stimulus
The IRS denied rumors about a $1,390 check or a new $1,400 payment. There is no legislation passed by Congress authorizing a fourth stimulus. The deadline for claiming the last pandemic-related payment was April 15, 2025.
State payments are underway
Although there is no federal stimulus, several states are making inflation payments. More than 8 million New Yorkers will receive checks ranging from $150 to $400 based on their income and marital status. These payments are intended to offset the higher inflation taxes.
Who qualifies in New York?
To receive the inflation relief check in New York, you must have:
– Filed Form IT-201 in 2023.
– Have income within the established ranges.
– Not have been claimed as a dependent on another return.
The amounts vary:
Single filers with incomes up to $75,000: $200.
Married couples with incomes up to $150,000: $400.
Other ranks receive between $150 and $300.
You don’t need to apply
The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance will automatically send checks to those who qualify. Shipments start in late September and last several weeks. There is no way to speed up the process or ensure an exact delivery date.
Don’t forget to validate if you qualify to receive your checks
Although there will be no IRS stimulus payments this month, residents of New York and other states can expect to receive deposits for inflation rebates. Check your eligibility and keep an eye on your mailbox, as payments will be made automatically.
