Can't find a way to get a new card

Me either! I have tried multiple customer service numbers and even though I'm entering my SSN instead of my card number because I dont have the card, it keeps saying invalid entry, and there has been NO success with speaking to a live person.

If this is because of the second stimulus check stop trying ...  if the card is closed then the deposit will be rejected and you will get it on the 2020 return you will file next year.

 

 

This was published in the Wall Street Journal today and begins to explain the timing and how these 2nd payments are going to occur: 

 

"To avoid sending money during tax-filing season, Congress established a Jan. 15 deadline for making the stimulus payments. Eligible individuals who don’t receive a check or direct deposit by that date will have to request a $600 refund when filing 2020 tax returns. "

 

That means the IRS is going to have to change how the EIP form that ties to Line 30 works prior to opening up the submission window in late January..... and it's how they are going to ensure that there isn't any unintentional 'double dipping' (I get a stimulus payment and I fail to state that on my 2020 tax return)

 

 

The IRS has no Congressional authority to send out payments after January 15, 2021.  The law further states this 2nd stimulus (like the 1st one) is an advance of the 2020 tax return - not the 2021 tax return!

 

Once we get past January 15, 2021, the only way the IRS has to get the 2nd stimulus to taxpayers is through the 2020 tax return, which I suspect means re-tooling the EIP form that ties to Line 30. 

 

 

and sure enough this is what the tax bill states (page 1969 if anyone really cares)

 

 

‘‘(ii) DEADLINE.—
23 ‘‘(I) IN GENERAL.—Except as
24 provided in subclause (II), no refund
25 or credit shall be made or allowed
under this subsection after 
January
15, 2021.
