There is only One Economic Impact payment.

Have you filed a 2018 or 2019 federal tax return? Are you a dependent on someone else's tax return?

I have filed and mailed my tax info in around sometime in May 2020. I still have gotten any payment or nothing. Why is it taking so long

The IRS was nor processing any paper tax returns for several months due to the pandemic and limited staffing. They have only just recently started to process approximately 11 million paper returns in the order they were received.

We’re experiencing delays in processing paper tax returns due to limited staffing. If you already filed a paper return, we will process it in the order we received it.

Do not file a second tax return or contact the IRS about the status of your return.
