After you file

The IRS portal is not fully functional yet.  There are still a few categories of taxpayer situations not covered.  Keep checking using the primary taxpayer information only.  The site updates once daily so no need to check more than once a day. 

 

Since you did not get a refund in 2018 your stimulus payment will not be direct deposit unless 1) you add that information on the IRS portal when able or 2) you file a 2019 return and it results in a refund that you elect to have direct deposited. 

 

Those who do not have direct deposit information on file will get the stimulus payment by paper check.  Those checks will be begin to be mailed out in May and continue throughout the year.
