Go to this IRS website and scroll down to Question 52 - https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/economic-impact-payment-information-center

There is information on how to return the stimulus payment.

For checks that came to you via direct deposit, or you’ve already cashed the paper check, you should submit a personal check or money order to the appropriate IRS location (determined by your state of residency).

Make the check payable the U.S. Treasury and write 2020EIP and taxpayer identification number as the recipient of the check.

Remember to include a brief explanation as to why you’re returning the funds.

Thank you, but I did see this on IRS website and I am not able to do that at this point. I am not physically in USA, I have never written a paper check or money order, I can only do that from a bank branch. I was hoping if there’s a way to do it online.
