By now, millions of Americans have received their third stimulus check, but some of the recipients of the $1,400 direct payment need to return theirs to the government.
Kiplinger, there are a few reasons a person might need to send the check back to the IRS. The first is if the recipient is classified as a nonresident alien. This means they are not a US citizen, do not have a green card, and aren't in America for a required amount of time. While qualifying resident aliens who have a green card and a Social Security number were eligible and can keep their check, the nonresident aliens might have gotten one by mistake and need to return it.

The United States has handed out a third stimulus package and millions of Americans received $1,400 in their bank account.
However, some may need to return the $1,400 to the IRS. According to Kiplinger, some who got a stimulus check should not have received it and the IRS wants you to send the money back.
So, who needs to return the money to the U.S. Government? Well, let's break it down here.
For one, those who got the $1,400 payment but are considered "nonresident aliens" should not have received the payment. That individual does not possess a green card and has not been in the country long enough to receive payment.
