First and second stimulus questions

I never received either stimulus check I still have to refile and do an amendment on both my 2018 and 2019 taxes. When i filed my 2020 tax return they asked if i received either stimulus check and I answered no and it said I was eligible for both stimulus checks. I was accepted for my 2020 tax return by the IRS on Feb 17th and was supposed to get my return on March 10th but about 2 weeks ago on IRS.GOV the orange bar at the top went from accepted to " Still processing a date will be given when available when ready" Am I still going to receive the 1st and 2nd stimulus check? Also will I receive  the 3rd check  as well?

The IRS doesn't share that information with us. Once your return is at the IRS, it’s out of our hands. The IRS issues the stimulus payments, not TurboTax. This means that we can't say for sure why you haven’t received your stimulus payments or when you'll receive them.

 

This year, the IRS is taking longer than normal to process refunds for some Americans.  

 

If it's been longer than 21 days since you e-filed, you'll have to speak directly to IRS to find out more about the delay.
