If you received notification that direct deposit of your stimulus payment was affected by the recent IRS processing error, then you can expect the IRS to make a second attempt within the next few days. It's best to first confirm the status of your stimulus payment at Get My Payment.
If you have not received your payment by January 15, 2021, AND your status remains "unavailable" at Get My Payment, then you will claim your credit when you file your 2020 tax return.
The IRS will continue send out checks and debit cards in January, only if you
-
You did not use direct deposit for you most recent tax refund, or
-
You used direct deposit, but have since closed that account.
They are urging taxpayers to pay close attention to the mail during this time.
We know that this stimulus is important to you and your family and we are committed to getting you your money. You can find the most up to date information at IRS Updates on the Second Stimulus and TurboTax updates on the second stimulus.
