If your stimulus payment was deposited to the wrong bank account and you have called the IRS Stimulus department, you should be able to do a trace on that deposited payment in 5 business days. If that payment was mailed, they can begin a trace after 30 days of the date it was issued. The IRS states "The third round of Economic Impact Payments are being sent in phases. The IRS started sending the first batch of payments with an official payment date of March 17. If you haven’t received one yet, it doesn’t mean you won’t. We’ll send the third payments each week to eligible individuals as we continue to process tax returns. Payments are sent by direct deposit or mail as a check or debit card. No action is needed by most taxpayers; the payments will be automatic and, in many cases, similar to how people received the first and second round of Economic Impact Payments in 2020. Taxpayers can start checking their refund status within 24 hours after an e-filed return is received. In addition, Where's My Refund provides a personalized date after the return is processed and a refund is approved. People can check the Get My Payment tool on IRS.gov to see the payment status of the third stimulus payment. The IRS will use data already in its systems to send the third stimulus payments. Taxpayers with direct deposit information on file will receive the payment that way. Those without current direct deposit information on file will receive the payment as a check or debit card in the mail.
The first and second Economic Impact Payments no longer appear in Get My Payment.
