After you file

You are correct in so far as the processing of the return.  They are reconciling the stimulus payments with the returns and the timing of the tax season, the stimulus payments for the first and second round and now the third does create a delay.

 

Do NOT file any amended return as this time.  Once a return is accepted they will use the method of deliver you requested or mail if no direct deposit was requested.  At this time you cannot change that information.  

 

The IRS FAQ about SSN and stimulus:

  • How are married couples affected, if only one spouse has a Social Security number?
    • As with EIP2, joint filers where only one spouse has a Social Security number (SSN) will normally get the third payment. This means that these families will now get a payment covering any family member who has a work-eligible SSN.

For taxpayers who file jointly with their spouse and only one individual has a valid SSN, the spouse with a valid SSN will receive up to a $1,400 third payment and up to $1,400 for each qualifying dependent claimed on the 2020 tax return.

 

Continue to watch for the possibility to update your direct deposit information.  Review this TurboTax link about the normal process when the wrong information or no information was included when the return was filed and accepted.
