The economic impact
payments were based on your 2018 or
2019 tax year information. The recovery
rebate credit is figured like the economic
impact payments except that the credit

Generally, you are eligible to claim the recovery rebate credit if in 2020 you
were a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien, weren't a dependent of another taxpayer, and have a valid social security

died in 2020, if you are preparing a return for that person. Use the Recovery
Rebate Credit Worksheet to figure the
