Yes, that would work. The payment would be on your tax account based on your name and Social Security number.
The IRS is not processing many federal tax return filed on paper at this time due to the pandemic.
Go to this IRS website for information - https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-operations-during-covid-19-mission-critical-functions-continue
We’re experiencing delays in processing paper tax returns due to limited staffing. If you already filed a paper return, we will process it in the order we received it.
Do not file a second tax return or contact the IRS about the status of your return.
