I get to the point in TTax where is says I should have gotten in 2020 Payment #1 of $2400 and Payment #2 of $1200 and I did not remember any payment. TTax says to verify payment on IRS site. I had a rough time getting registered and as an alternative I downloaded my 2020 bank transactions and looked for 2400 and 1200 but no deposits were made in those amounts. I finally got activated on the IRS site today and found that the IRS says I received $xxxx.xx as Payment #1 and $0.00 for the 2nd payment. I looked for the Payment #1 amount on my bank records and it is not there.
There are instructions on the IRS page that MFJ filers need to check both my account and my spouse's account to enter the amounts. I hate to go through the hassle of creating an IRS account for my wife.
Has anyone else had this trouble? TTax says I got 2400 and 1200 but I cannot verify that and I cannot verify the $xxxx.xx deposit to my bank. So what transaction text would have been with my direct deposit? BTW, I have gotten direct deposit for many years and would have remembered a paper check.
So, should I enter $xxxx.xx for the amount I got per the IRS records or put in $0.00 ? Will the IRS check my account and trigger an audit?
TIA
