It's Friday the 24th. I entered my direct deposit bank information last Wed, April 15th and so today, if the House ways and means committee is being truthful, I should see a deposit into my checking account. News flash: no deposit has yet been made. And the message I received from the get my payment website is the same... once we have a payment date we will update this page.
I did read the House ways and means document concerning the expected timeline. Clearly, they have no idea what the bleep they are talking about.
I do appreciate that the IRS is woefully understaffed and underfunded (ProPublica: How the IRS Was Gutted, Dec 2018) and frankly I am amazed they threw together the Get My Payment website in such a short time. However, they need to get their act together.
