also, suggest reviewing the IRS FAQ below to be sure you are eligible in the first place (most people are)
while not the best answer, i would just wait until the IRS centers open up after the COVID issue is gone..hopefully by then you have the payment.
A1. You may be eligible to receive a Payment if you:
- Are a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien;
- Cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return;
- Have a Social Security number (SSN) that is valid for employment (valid SSN); and
- Exception: If either spouse is a member of the U.S. Armed Forces at any time during the taxable year, then only one spouse needs to have a valid SSN
- Have adjusted gross income below an amount based on your filing status and the number of your qualifying children.
if you are eligible, then there would be a paper check sent (if no direct deposit on file). checks are going out in "income order"
week of Apr 24 ... under $10k
