2nd Stimulus payments

with all the issues with the 2nd payments, this is on the IRS Website, so at least those who get this message know they need to get the rest of their EIP via their 2020 tax return; still too early to understand what happens if the check is supposed to be coming but by the time you file it still hasn't arrived, but if the IRS stops payments on Jan 15 that the pipeline of issues clears out by the end of the month.

What information does Get My Payment display about my Economic Impact Payment? (updated December 30,...

Get My Payment will show the status of your second Economic Impact Payment and your most recent first payment. Some people received their first Economic Impact Payment in multiple payments. If you received multiple EIP 1 payments, the application will show only the most recent EIP 1 payment.

For EIP 2, Get My Payment will display one of the following payment statuses:

1. Payment Status –

• A payment has been processed, a payment date is available, and payment will be issued either by direct deposit or mail. 

2. Payment Status Not Available –

• If you receive this message, you were either not eligible, or eligible but we were unable to issue you an EIP 2 payment. You will need to claim any additional amount you may be entitled to on your 2020 tax return as the Recovery Rebate Credit.

I didn’t receive a direct deposit yet. Will I get a second Economic Impact Payment?

Maybe. IRS updated Get My Payment (GMP) for individuals who are receiving the second Economic Impact Payment on January 5, 2021. If you checked GMP on or after January 5 then:

• If GMP reflects a direct deposit date and partial account information, then your payment is deposited there.
• If GMP reflects a date your payment was mailed, it may take up to 3 – 4 weeks for you to receive the payment. Watch your mail carefully for a check or debit card. (See the FAQ for EIP Card)
• If GMP shows “Payment Status #2 – Not Available,” then you will not receive a second Economic Impact Payment and instead you need to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2020 Tax Return.

 
Because of the speed at which the law required the IRS to issue the second round of Economic Impact Payments, some payments may have been sent to an account that may be closed or, is or no longer active, or unfamiliar. By law, the financial institution must return the payment to the IRS; they cannot hold and issue the payment to an individual when the account is no longer active. If Get My Payment shows “Payment Status #2 – Not Available” you will not receive a second EIP.   
 
The IRS advises people that if they don’t receive their Economic Impact Payment, they should file their 2020 tax return electronically and claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on their tax return to get their payment and any refund as quickly as possible.

I don't need a **bleep**ing tax credit. I need the money I have more than paid for quadruple times over in taxes to help support . And @NCperson how the literal **bleep** is this "good stuff" ? Come tell my kids that Intuit/turbo Tax dropping the ball like a bunch of monkeys dry humping footballs thinks this **bleep** is "good stuff" . This is definitely my last time using these idiots for anything  and will gladly be looking at any class action lawsuits against this company of morons.

this was in a wall Street Journal article tonight:

(sorry if this is behind the paywall)

When payments go to closed or inactive accounts, the money is sent back to the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS said it is unable to reissue and mail checks in those instances.

If that happens or if people want to check the status of their payment, they can use the “Get My Payment” feature on the IRS website. The “Payment Status #2—Not Available” message generally means that a second payment isn’t coming to that person and should be claimed on the 2020 tax return instead.

aren't all the SBTPG accounts now 'closed'? which would suggest a paper check is not forthcoming??????

[NCperson]

I only meant it was 'good stuff' from the standpoint it bring clarity to what is occurring from the source: the IRS.  did not mean to offend those that need the money NOW

[Rljackson03]

But yet Turbotax or intuit has yet to own up to it being partially thier fault. To this is why HR block will probably end up with 95% of Turbo Tax customers. 

And NO they have stated they aren't Mailing **bleep** . Us that used turbo tax and have the unavailable status are SOL.

It is wrong for your agency to withhold my very needed 2nd stimulus payment. Why should i have to wait?!!!

I am also having serious problems with my unemployment benefits as I have not received payments since September 12, 2020. It is my understanding your agency also withholding my unemployment payments??!!!

Because of all this your agency has caused me VERY VERY bad HARDSHIP!!!! 

What gives you the power to control tax paying citizens finances

A lot of us need this stimulus as a bail out like the other millions of people who received theirs.  You guys are blaming the IRS when you know  the IRS statement is totally different!!  Just like H&R Block fixed the problem your team could have as well since it was put into your third party account that we didn’t have a reference about.  It’s negligence on your teams end to fix this problem!!

[Kmcthom]

Well the IRS statement is totally different!!  Just like H&R Block fixed the problem your team could have as well since it was put into your third party account that we didn’t have a reference about.  It’s negligence on your teams end to fix this problem!!  We should not have to wait on your mistakes!!
