Can anyone please tell me where my stimulus check is?

I would like to know why I haven't received my stimulus check since both you and the IRS have my account details. Nothing has changed since I file taxes last year. I do Direct Deposit.

The IRS will stop mailing Stimulus checks on 1/15 so if you don't get it by the time the efiling opens at  the end of the month you can apply for the missing money on the 2020 return.  

 

The Stimulus Checks are really based on your 2020 return we are filing in 2021.  So any amount you already got will be reconciled on your 2020 return line 30.  If you didn't get a Stimulus Check (and qualify) or you qualify for more it will be added to your 2020 return.  But the good news is if they paid you too much they won't take it back.

 

When you go through the federal review tab it will ask how much you got if any.  Or to enter your stimulus payment in TurboTax, type "stimulus" (without the quotes) in the Search box, then click the link that says "Jump to stimulus."

Forget I said check.  Although they might be sending a check instead of a deposit.  The IRS is all messed up.  But the rest of my post still applies to everyone.
