After you file

If you claimed the stimulus payment on your return and the IRS informed you that they working on sorting it out, then they will send you the money once they have the final amount.

If you do not know that this is happening, then you can contact the IRS to see what the status of your stimulus payment is.

 

This is the best way to contact the IRS:

 

Call them at 1-800-829-1040.  They are open Mon - Fri from 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM.  The best time to reach them is 8:00 AM.

 

Get to a live person fastest: Press 1 for English, then press 2 for Personal Income Taxes, and then push 1, then 3, then 2, then 0# when it asks for your social security number, then 2.
