In the rush to get the stimulus payments out the IRS sent some payments to an account that may be closed, is no longer active, or unfamiliar. By law the financial institution must return the payment to the IRS.   

You can confirm the status of your stimulus payment at Get My Payment.   

 

  • If it shows a direct deposit date and partial account information, then your payment is deposited there.  

  • If it shows 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.   

  • If it 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.  

 

If you paid for TurboTax with your refund last year, we have given the IRS your correct account information and you can expect the IRS to make a second attempt within the next few days.  

 

You can find the most up to date information at IRS Updates on the Second Stimulus and TurboTax Updates on the Second Stimulus.

The IRS is still sending out third stimulus payments to people. If you are eligible and have updated information, it should be coming. 

 

If you have not yet filed your 2020 tax return, file it as soon as possible so that the IRS has your most recent information directly in their system. If you did not receive the first and second stimulus payments, claim them on the 2020 tax return as the Recovery Rebate Credit

 

For the most recent information, see: 

More Economic Impact Payments set for disbursement in coming days; taxpayers should watch mail for paper checks, debit cards
