If all three stimulus payments were mailed and you have not received any of them, then you should consider starting a payment trace.

 

You should request a payment trace to track your payment if Get My Payment shows a payment was issued to you and you have not received it within the timeframes below. IRS assistors cannot initiate a payment trace unless it has been:

  • 5 days since the deposit date and the bank says it hasn't received the payment
  • 4 weeks since the payment was mailed by check to a standard address
  • 6 weeks since the payment was mailed, and you have a forwarding address on file with the local post office
  • 9 weeks since the payment was mailed, and you have a foreign address

If the checks were not cashed, the IRS will issue you a new ones.

 

To start a payment trace:

  • Call the IRS at 800-919-9835
  • Mail or fax a completed Form 3911
