Still haven t heard anything about my stimulus check

You can check the status of your stimulus payments on the IRS GMP portal. Click on the Get My Payment blue link.

 

IRS updated Get My Payment (GMP) for individuals who are receiving the second Economic Impact Payment on January 5, 2021. If you checked GMP on or after January 5 then:

  • If GMP reflects a direct deposit date and partial account information, then your payment is deposited there.
  • If GMP reflects a date your payment was mailed, it may take up to 3 – 4 weeks for you to receive the payment. Watch your mail carefully for a check or debit card. (See the FAQ for EIP Card)
  • If GMP shows "Payment Status #2 – Not Available," then you will not receive a second Economic Impact Payment and instead you need to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2020 Tax Return.

Because of the speed at which the law required the IRS to issue the second round of Economic Impact Payments, some payments may have been sent to an account that may be closed or, is or no longer active, or unfamiliar. By law, the financial institution must return the payment to the IRS; they cannot hold and issue the payment to an individual when the account is no longer active. If Get My Payment shows "Payment Status #2 – Not Available" you will not receive a second EIP.

 

The IRS advises people that if they don't receive their Economic Impact Payment, they should file their 2020 tax return electronically and claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on their tax return to get their payment and any refund as quickly as possible.

Still haven't received my stimulus was deposit into a GreenDot account that I do not recognize no one has reached out to me when it will I will receive  hey deposit . No one has emailed me and I got my Turbo card through you guys

Still haven t heard anything about my stimulus check

Since your stimulus was deposited to a Turbo Card account that you do not recognize, please contact Green Dot Bank for assistance.  Contact them at 888-285-4169

Be aware that you can claim the stimulus payment when you file your 2020 taxes.  You may qualify for Free File.
 

During the TurboTax interview you will be asked about the amount you received for your first and second stimulus payments.  If you have not received a second stimulus payment, then you will put zero in that box.
 

When the second box has zero, then the amount of stimulus will be added to your 2020 refund.

 

To get to the screen that asks about the stimulus payment go to the top of the TurboTax screen and select Federal Review

 Insert federal review pic here
 

Click Continue until you get to this screen:

When you put zero (0) for the second stimulus payment, the payment will be added to your 2020 refund
