Third stimulus check

Halljr71 — Mon, 15 Mar 2021 12:19:44 GMT

Received my refund last week by direct deposit . Checked get my payment on irs site and keeps telling me that my information don’t Match their records. Yet, I can still put my information in on where is my refund and it has no issue with the information I put in there. It makes no sense because I haven’t changed anything and they have all the information since they just refunded my taxes into my bank account that I’ve had for years. I am eligible for the stimulus check so I’m wondering whether I’ll ever get it?

When you see the information doesn't match their records, it is because the log in failed. Since your refund was deposited successfully, you will likely get the third stimulus if you are still eligible. The rules have changed for the third payment.

Go to this article for the new rules and to find a link to a stimulus payment calculator: Stimulus payment resources for your 2020 taxes.

Remember that today is the first day that the tool is operational.

IRS FAQ Why is the IRS Get My Payment tool showing 'Payment status unavailable'? states:

The IRS updates its tool to show taxpayers where and how EIP funds will be delivered once they have processed a payment.

If you are seeing a status that indicates your payment status is unavailable it means that either:

the IRS has not yet processed your payment OR
you are not eligible for a stimulus payment.

Although you may want to check the tool regularly, the payment status is only updated once per day.
