Stimulus payment error

elizabeclay — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 14:56:16 GMT

I filed a form 1099 int form for stimulus check as suggested earlier before irs open non filers port. I followed instructions on how file out for stimulus payment I included direct deposit info. Irs accepted. Then 5 days after I filed irs opened non filers port. I thought I needed to use this port since I didn't receive my payment deposit and the payment info say information not available. I file through port. That was rejected saying

Taxpayer TIN in the Return Header must not be the same as a TIN of a previously accepted electronic return for the return type and tax period indicated in the tax return.

Additional Information:

/efile:Return/efile:ReturnHeader/efile:Filer/efile:PrimarySSN

What does this mean ? As of today I still haven't received any deposit or any other info

It means you already filed a return when you enter your 1099-INT. So when you then again filed on the non-filers port, it was rejected because the IRS already had a return for you.

You stated a TIN, you have to have a SSN to qualify for the stimulus check.

OK, the error is still because you filed two returns with your SSN. You can just ignore the rejected return.

Check the IRS website for status of the stimulus payment and update your bank information if necessary.

AGI is line 7 on your 2018 return and line 8B on your 2019 return. Refund is line 21a of the 2019 tax return. and line 20a for 2018
