It depends.

 

What is the source of these emails?

 

The IRS has only stated they would be sending confirmation letters 15 days after depositing your stimulus refund so be careful if the email is not from a reliable source.

 

The best thing to do is follow the guidance on the following links for the most recent updates:

Do not respond to any of these communications. Historically the IRS does not communicate with text messages or email. There are many scams going on and this could be a scam.
