Thanks for your Reply.  I am confused as well, as far as I can tell I should have already received it. But the get my payment says not available. Is there a certain cut off date all deposits should be recieved by? How soon am I able to file to receive the credit? 

Thanks again! 


The IRS says in their FAQ that if a status is "not available" they will not have time to fix it and will not send a payment.  The IRS was given a January 15 deadline in the new law to make the payments, and they also have to prepare for tax return season, and they say they won't have time to fix problems.

 

The IRS is expected to open e-filing on January 27.  Turbotax may allow e-filing earlier, but any e-filed returns would only go into cold storage.  Even the basic form 1040 won't be ready to file in Turbotax until at least January 14 due to delays caused by last minute changes like this.
