All the stories about the stimulus check talk about getting your stimulus automatically if you had your 2018 or 2019 tax refund automatically. But they do not address the fact that if you OWED money both years and paid directly from your checking account, the IRS will not use that account number and routing number to deposit your stimulus check. I read this on the IRS FAQ page. I wish the stories would address this issue. When I go to the IRS "Get My Payment" web page and fill out the form, it always comes back "Payment Status Not Available" and does not give me an option to supply my bank account number and routing number. How many people are in this situation?
