Back in 2019, I filed my taxes using direct deposit. I received my first stimulus through direct deposit. After, I had to close that account due to fraud. My second stimulus failed to be deposited into the account due to its closure. When I filed my 2020 taxes in early February, I claimed my stimulus on Turbo Tax for $1800. The timing was a problem because about a week later, the IRS was trying to mail the stimulus check. I was in the middle of moving my family so I never received the check and it was sent back to the IRS. When the IRS finally received my 2020 taxes, they denied the claim because the check was still out there in limbo. Now, the IRS will not physically issue the second stimulus check again and told me that I need to amend my taxes to claim it again.
I have not received my third stimulus payment yet. An IRS representative told me that I needed to claim it by amending my taxes.
