Good Morning Everyone!
The IRS said they mailed our second stimulus payment, but information online says it may take an additional 4 to 6 weeks to arrive. We badly need the stimulus, and we badly need our tax refund. Our first stimulus check was missing a dependent, and we know our second one will be too (we had a baby in late 2020). So in order to get money to us quicker, am I able to file right now, claim the credit from the missing one earlier in 2020 and say we haven't received the second stimulus, then just rip up the check when it arrives?
Thanks,
-Shane

If Get My Payment on IRS.gov shows a date that your payment was mailed, watch your mail for either a paper check or debit card.
If there is a date mailed on the get my payment website it should not take more than 5 days for you to receive the check or debit card.
