People who received an Economic Impact Payment this year should keep Notice 1444, Your Economic Impact Payment, with their tax records.

The hard copy notice provides information on the amount of the payment, how the payment was made and how to report any failure to receive the payment.

For security reasons, Notice 1444 is mailed to each recipient’s last known address within a few weeks after the payment is made.

It is especially important for people to keep the notice if they think their payment amount is incorrect.

When they file their 2020 tax return next year, they can refer to Notice 1444 and claim additional credits on their 2020 tax return if they are eligible.

If a taxpayer is unsure they’re receiving a legitimate notice, they should visit IRS.gov first to learn more about scams.
