Why haven't I gotten a stimulus check

No one in this forum can answer that.  We have no information about you.  Were you claimed as someone else's dependent?  Dependents do not receive stimulus money.  Or did you owe any back child support?  If so, your stimulus check goes to pay for the child support.

 

The IRS can look at your 2018 or 2019 return to issue a stimulus check.  If they do not have a 2018 return then you may be waiting for them to finish processing 2019 before they will be able to use it to issue your stimulus check.

 

 

TurboTax has no control over your stimulus check, nor can TT track it for you or tell you when the IRS will issue it. Refer to the sites linked below:

You can call the IRS hotline at 1-800-919-9835 to get updates on your stimulus payment.
