After you file

The IRS is no longer sending out third stimulus checks @retireejim1. If you did not receive a payment, it will be added to your refund as a Recovery Rebate Credit.

 

Get My Payment no longer works. You can check your stimulus at your IRS account.

 

If you IRS account shows a payment was sent, you can request a trace.

 

To start a payment trace:

Reminder: DO NOT request a trace prior to the timeframes above. IRS assistors cannot start a trace prior to those timeframes.

To complete the Form 3911:

  • Write "EIP3" on the top of the form to identify the payment you want to trace.
  • Complete the form answering all refund questions as they relate to your Economic Impact Payment.
  • When completing item 7 under Section 1:
    • Check the box for "Individual" as the Type of return
    • Enter "2021" as the Tax Period
    • Do not write anything for the Date Filed
  • Sign the form. If you file married filing jointly, both spouses must sign the form.

You will generally receive a response 6 weeks after we receive your request for a payment trace, but there may be delays due to limited staffing.
