Covid 19 stimulus payment not received

[MinhT1]

The IRS has just launched a new web portal which allows you to follow the scheduled payment date for either a direct deposit or mailed check. It’s an online app that works on desktops, phones, or tablets and doesn’t need to be downloaded from an app store, the Treasury said.

To track your payment, you must provide basic information including:

• Social Security number
• Date of birth
• Mailing address

The tool also lets people provide their bank account details to get their payment by direct deposit instead of waiting for a mailed paper check.

If you filed a tax return in 2018 or 2019 but didn’t provide direct deposit information, you’ll be able to identify yourself, input that banking information, and receive the payment in several days in your account.

To add direct deposit information, you will need to provide:

• Adjusted gross income from your most recent tax return submitted, either 2019 or 2018
• The refund or amount owed from your latest filed tax return
• Bank account type, account, and routing numbers

 Irs Payment Tool says my 2nd stimulus payment was Deposited on 1/4/2021 into the exact same account at the 1st payment from 4/15/2020. I received the 1st $1200.00 payment no problem.

However there is no record of the bank receiving the 2nd $600.00 deposit.

Are others having this issue? What now?

@Megan1222 You need to contact your bank. A bank can legally hold money for a short time. You need to know if the money went to your bank and to the correct account. Otherwise, see below for additional information.

• The IRS has sent a notification that “because of the speed at which the IRS issued this second round of payments, some payments may have been sent to an account that may be closed or no longer active. 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must return the payment to the IRS, they cannot hold and issue the payment to an individual when the account is no longer active.” Full Press Release
• While the IRS is exploring options to correct these payments, if you have not received your full payment by the time you file your 2020 tax return, you may claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on your tax return.
