In the rush to get the stimulus payments out the IRS sent some payments to an account that may be closed, is no longer active, or unfamiliar. By law the financial institution must return the payment to the IRS. You can confirm the status of your stimulus payment at Get My Payment. If it shows a direct deposit date and partial account information, then your payment is deposited there. If it shows 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. If it 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. If you paid for TurboTax with your refund last year, we have given the IRS your correct account information and you can expect the IRS to make a second attempt within the next few days. We know that this stimulus is important to you and your family and we remain committed to getting you your money.

In the rush to get the stimulus payments out the IRS sent some payments to an account that may be closed, is no longer active, or unfamiliar. By law the financial institution must return the payment to the IRS.

You can confirm the status of your stimulus payment at Get My Payment.

If it shows a direct deposit date and partial account information, then your payment is deposited there.
If it shows 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.
If it 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.

Do I get a stimulus check

It depends.

You may need to wait a bit longer for your federal refund from your tax return as the IRS has had to implement many changes in the last few weeks. Trying using the following link to track your refund.

IRS processing time and refund status

The online link is your best option to track your refund. I have attached a link with more answers from the IRS as to why your refund may be taking longer to process.

Federal refund questions

Please see the link below for additional guidance from the IRS in regards to the third stimulus payment.

FAQs for Stimulus payments

@Happy9409

The IRS is sending out Stimulus #3 payments in batches, and will take a few weeks to complete them all. This one comes to you separately (and automatically), not as part of your 2020 tax refund. You can check the status here:

Hi,

Turbotax makes it real difficult to get support or input into any e-mail/community string. However, I just tried to startup both my 2019 and 2020 Turbotax and it wants me to activate it. They've already been activated so WTF?
