Why is IRS not posting my stimulus?

We are unable to provide the status of your payment right now because: We don't have enough information yet (we're working on this), or You're not eligible for a payment.

If you had your TurboTax fees deducted from your refund when you filed your tax return, then the IRS may have sent your stimulus check to the bank that processed your refund, which is different from your bank. If this happened, then TurboTax will have notified the IRS of your correct account information and they are working to send your payment within days.

 

Also, you can enter the payment on your tax return for 2020 if you don't receive it by the time you file your return, and it will be included with your refund.
