Has anyone here who filed via Turbo Tax NOT gotten their 3rd stimulus yet? We fit all the criteria and did direct direct deposit, but our status is still "Unvailable."

Payment Status Not Available on the IRS Get My Payment tool means that the: 

  • The IRS has not yet processed your payment, or 
  • You are not eligible for a payment.

Kiplinger is reporting "about 90 million Americans got a stimulus payment deposited into their bank account on Wednesday."

 

So not everyone has received the third stimulus payment.  Has your 2020 Federal 1040 tax return been accepted?

 

This TurboTax Help states:

 

Do I need to do anything to get my stimulus check?

 

You don’t need to do anything to get your stimulus check. The IRS will determine eligibility based on your last tax return (either 2019 or 2020) and will likely send your payment to the bank account where your tax refund was deposited.

 

We do not know whether the IRS will use 2019 or 2020 tax information to compute a third stimulus payment.

Great to hear that your 2020 Federal 1040 tax return has been accepted.  Even if your 2020 Federal 1040 tax return is accepted, we do not know whether the IRS will issue a third stimulus payment using 2019 tax information or 2020 tax information.

 

If it's any consolation, Get My Payment returns Payment Status Not Available for my tax return filed February 13.

 

There is a great deal happening and the IRS has really been crunched.

 

The best that I can do is refer you to the websites below.  Best wishes.

Many of our customers are reporting that they have not received their third stimulus payment.  Here is a link that should let you know if one was issued to you.

Yes, many taxpayers have received part of their third stimulus payments.  They issued only part of the payment as they continue to reconcile the tax returns as well.

 

The most up to date information about the third economic impact payment (EIP) can be found on this link.  IRS EIP3 page.

I appreciate you answering, but that's not what I was asking.  My family has not received even "a part" of the third stimulus.  Nothing.  Again, we always e-file, and fell well-below the income threshold. There's nothing that would have disqualified us from the stimulus.  And the "Get my Payment" tool just says "Payment status- Not Available."

I just was hoping for reassurance that we weren't the only ones who didn't get anything yet.

Hi James,
Yes, it was accepted 2/24/21.
Again, I'm trying not to panic.
Thank you.

Unfortunately, we have been noticing that many of our customers are receiving less than the amount that is due them.  We do not have information from the IRS as to why this occurs; however as customers continue to have questions regarding the Economic Impact Payments (EIP), we’re continuing to work with the IRS for guidance. We’re updating our customer and expert-facing articles with information as soon as we get it.

For the most up to date information available regarding stimulus amounts being sent to our customers by the IRS, please review the new FAQs in the article, How will the third stimulus impact me?

Didn't get the 3rd stimulus check. The IRS tool says the information they have isn't matching the info I give. Not understanding this because all of the info is the same

There are no changes. There's also no one that can answer my questions.
