Stimulus check

The bank account on my 2018 taxes is closed due to fraud. I did not recieve the stimulus check through direct deposit as the 2018 account was no longer active. Will I recieve my stiumulus check anoher way? How can I insure I recieve it?

You can go to irs.gov and check on the status of your stimulus by clicking the get my payment tool. Also, they do not have your bank information if you haven't done your 2019 taxes and your 2018 taxes is closed where it was sent. so the best thing you can do is file your 2019 taxes and provide a bank account, or you're going to have to wait for a paper check. Keep in mind, that these checks are going to take quite a while to disburse. They are starting with the lowest incomes and working their way up. It could be a couple weeks or a couple months. Who knows.
