How come I can not get a stimulus check

 

 

The stimulus will only be issued once they have processed your 2018 or 2019 return and only if you are eligible ... so review the rules and your returns to see what is happening.   If you do not get the check by the end of the year then you can apply for it on the 2020 return you file next year.  

 

Are you eligible?    https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/economic-impact-payment-information-center-topic-a-eip-eligibility-and-...

How come I can not get a stimulus check

The IRS can look at your 2018 or 2019 return to issue a stimulus check.  If they do not have a 2018 return then you may be waiting for them to finish processing 2019 before they will be able to use it to issue your stimulus check.

 

 

TurboTax has no control over your stimulus check, nor can TT track it for you or tell you when the IRS will issue it. Refer to the sites linked below:

You can call the IRS hotline at 1-800-919-9835 to get updates on your stimulus payment.
