After you file

You cannot set up direct deposit unless you file a 2020 income tax return or if your stimulus payment goes to a bad bank account and is return.

 

The IRS will use data already in its systems to send the third stimulus payments.

 

Taxpayers with direct deposit information on file will receive the payment that way.

 

Those without current direct deposit information on file will receive the payment as a check or debit card in the mail.
