The IRS is updating this website frequently and they may issue more guidance in the future about what to do if you do not have your stimulus check anymore.

TT is a DIY income tax program and has no ability or responsibility to assist you to get a refund or stimulus payment.  

 

The IRS issues a lot of refunds within 21 days, but it has been taking longer with the stimulus payment being issued in addition to the tax refunds.
