We apologize for the frustration, we have been made aware of the issues reported about this, and are working closely with the IRS and Treasury to research these issues being reported. However, at the moment we have not received any other official word or updates on this from the IRS, the Treasury department, or any banks we are affiliated on regarding any other information stated in the articles, but, we recommend to check the IRS site tomorrow or later today for possible updates on the situation.

Im trying to figu=e out where the IRS is sending my stimulas check. I've tried calling but they're closed. I filled my 2019 taxes through TurboTax but can't get am answer

Itsaid that it might go to the address where my 2018 taxes were sent but I've explained to turbo tax before that me and my wife split up in 2018 and she filed my taxes without my knowledge so I don't know any of the info she used and she won't tell me. Please tell me what what I can do to find out where my stimulas check is being sent

The IRS rolled out the "Get My Payment" tool here. According to IRS.gov, you can use the "Get My Payment" application to:

Check your payment status
Confirm your payment type: direct deposit or check
Enter your bank account information for direct deposit if the IRS doesn't have your direct deposit information and if they haven't sent your payment yet.
Receive paper check payments: If you moved since you last filed, let us know your new mailing address.

Can anybody tell me why i didn't get $1000 for my dependents i only got$1200 people i know that filed with netspend and chime got they correct amount

@Ebayjackson - the IRS will be sending letters within 15 days of the stimulus payment to explain everything

and I assume your children are under 17 years old, right?

here is the worst case scenario:

The stimulus payments are really based on your 2020 tax return (income, dependents, etc).
The IRS is using either 2018 or 2019 – whatever is available - to ESTIMATE that payment
When you file next year there will be a “settle up” section on the tax return.
If you are due more stimulus (and this would include where children were left off the payment including children born in 2019 or 2020)), you will receive it through the 2020 tax filing as an additional refund.
If you received too much, by law, you are not required to return it

I haven't received mine either. It's going to take them quite a while to get all those out all over the United States.

I filed my taxes for 2019 and received them earlier this year. I used the free edition for turbo tax and didnt get an advance on my taxes. I also got the turbo tax debit card for my taxes and have it still and its active. I cant use the get my payment feature with the irs to check deposit info because it says its unavailable. I have yet to have gotten the stimulus and there is no info or any one to contact about it.

My extreme disappointment with Turbotax is that I was informed about the problem with Stimulus payments by reading the yahoo page news from the Washington Post newspaper, NOT from an email from Turbotax. The article explained that many users of Turbotax, H&R Block and other tax preparer companies did not receive their payments like those tax payers that didn't use the services. I guess the Washington Post keeps up with tax news better that Turbotax. Maybe sometime in the future Turbotax will actully advise their customers about the situation.....

@hilbill76 - by law, the stimulus is garnished if there is back child support. sorry

I used turbo tax for this years return and entered my bank info for direct deposit of my refund. The "wheres my money" link for stimulus payment info says that irs doesn't have any bank info and I have no way of re entering this huge mistake that turbo tax has caused me. What now???

You guys sent my payment to the wrong bank CATAHOULA LASALLE BANK

Level 15

@charlie26 - is the account open at that Bank? if so, that is where the money will be. if no, then the money will "bounce back" and a check will be mailed.

Curious how that is the 'wrong bank' - didn't you provide that bank on your tax return or at the portal?
