IRS FAQ Why is the IRS Get My Payment tool showing 'Payment status unavailable'? states:

 

The IRS updates its tool to show taxpayers where and how EIP funds will be delivered once they have processed a payment.

 

If you are seeing a status that indicates your payment status is unavailable it means that either:

  • the IRS has not yet processed your payment OR
  • you are not eligible for a stimulus payment.

Although you may want to check the tool regularly, the payment status is only updated once per day.
