In recent weeks, talk of a possible new stimulus payment has spread quickly across social media platforms, sparking both excitement and confusion among low- and middle-income taxpayers in the United States.
Claims suggested that the IRS was preparing to send out direct deposits worth up to $1,390, leading many to wonder whether another round of federal relief was about to be rolled out.
However, the Internal Revenue Service has now clarified the facts, addressing the misinformation and setting the record straight.
IRS Denies the $1,390 Stimulus Payment
Despite viral posts circulating online, the IRS has confirmed that there is no such payment currently being issued. The agency emphasized that taxpayers should rely only on official IRS channels for information regarding federal payments and not be misled by unverified claims.
The reality is straightforward: Congress has not passed any new legislation that authorizes a $1,390 “recovery rebate credit” or stimulus check. Without congressional approval, the IRS has no authority to distribute such payments.
Is There Any Chance of Future Payments?
At this time, there is no federal approval for a new stimulus program. While the American Workers Rebate Act has been introduced, it has not yet been passed into law.
If it does receive approval in the future, it could open the door to new forms of financial relief. Until then, no additional checks will be issued.
Deadline for the Third Stimulus Payment
The final deadline to claim the third stimulus check was April 15, 2025. Anyone who failed to file before that date is no longer eligible to request the payment.
The widespread rumors of a $1,390 stimulus check in September 2025 are false. The IRS has officially denied these claims, reiterating that no new federal stimulus has been authorized.
While future legislation, such as the American Workers Rebate Act, could potentially change the landscape, as of now, no new payments are on the way. Taxpayers should continue to monitor official IRS updates to avoid falling for misinformation.
