Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No, if you are eligible for the stimulus, you will get it.

 

There was an error by the IRS as you noted, but the IRS has corrected the error and started today (January 8th) making the correct deposits. This is expected to continue through January 15th.

 

Note that it is possible that the IRS has not scheduled your stimulus to be made yet. I encourage you to read the following:

 

How do I find out if the IRS is sending me a payment?

 

People can check the status of both their first and second payments by using the Get My Payment tool, available in English and Spanish only on IRS.gov. The tool is being updated with new information, and the IRS anticipates the tool will be available again in a few days for taxpayers.

 

Use the Get My Payment tool to check to see if the IRS is intending to send you a second stimulus payment. If the tool shows that the payment has already sent to your bank but you haven't received it, then it is likely that your situation is due to an IRS error that you have heard about and those corrected payments have started being made today, January 8th. 

 

Please see the Turbo blog post "Why haven't I received my second stimulus check" for more information.
