I filed my last year taxes, had to mail my return due to not able to submit electronic filings. How will I get my 2nd stimulus? I've gotten 1st payment electronically.

I submitted my bank information when preparing taxes but couldn't submit electronically had to mail return in and was mailed in time of date allocated for not being late.

Stimulus payments began to be deposited starting January 8th.  We expect most payments to be available that day, but your bank could take a few business days to process. Your payment will be deposited into the same bank account that you received your 2019 tax refund.

 

Check the IRS Get My Payment tool. The tool should tell you where your stimulus payment was deposited or mailed. The IRS has indicated there’s nothing you can do to change where they send your payment.

 

 If you do not receive a payment, you can make an adjustment on your 2020 tax return for stimulus payments you qualify for, but have not received. 

 

To do this in TurboTax, please follow these steps:

  1. Enter the information in your return.
  2. Click Federal Review at the top of your screen. 
  3. On the screen, Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount, click Continue.
  4. You will be asked about the amounts of first round and second round stimulus payments you received
  5. TurboTax will then calculate the amount of stimulus payment remaining that you are still entitled to.  This will show as a credit on line 30 of the 1040.
