Military spouse

If you did not receive your stimulus payment but met the requirements above, when you file your return in 2020, you will have the opportunity to report the amount of the stimulus check(s) you did receive, and if it was less than what you were entitled to, you will receive a credit on your tax return.

 

The payment of the stimulus funds can be tracked at the following website:

Check status of economic payment

 

Please see the following for facts related to the payments as processed by the IRS.
