It refers to one of the <strong>economic stimulus payments distributed during the COVID-19 pandemic<\/strong>, not a newly approved check for 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite this, several media outlets and social media posts have recycled the number, sometimes using misleading headlines to generate clicks. This has caused confusion, making it appear as though a fourth federal stimulus check is on the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the IRS Says<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Internal Revenue Service (IRS)<\/strong> has not announced any program or plan to issue a <strong>$1,390 payment<\/strong> in the summer of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to a recent <strong>USA Today report<\/strong>, <em>\u201cthere is no congressional proposal to support a new stimulus check at this time.\u201d<\/em> IRS officials confirm that <strong>no new direct payments are being processed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short: there is <strong>no new federal stimulus check coming this summer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Payments Could You Actually Receive?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even without a new federal check, some taxpayers may receive <strong>money this summer<\/strong> through regular tax benefits or state programs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Child Tax Credit<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>State rebates<\/strong> in states like California, Colorado, and New Mexico<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you filed your tax return on time and qualify for any of these credits, you may see a payment. But this is <strong>not a stimulus check<\/strong>, it\u2019s part of routine tax benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Handle IRS Letters or Notices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you receive a letter claiming a new IRS payment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Verify authenticity directly at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">irs.gov<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not share personal information with unofficial sources.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consult a trusted tax advisor if unsure.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>$1,390 summer stimulus check<\/strong> circulating online is <strong>false information<\/strong>.
