I had to update my account to receive my second stimulus check and now the third one is showing it is going to the same closed account. How do I fix this?

I had changed it when they sent the second stimulus check back and then they deposited into the correct account after I updated. Why are they sending to the incorrect account? Can I fix this? I need the money

Here is the information posted by IRS regarding the third stimulus check:

 

The IRS has indicated they’re using the latest taxpayer information they have on file to issue the third stimulus payment. That means they are sending your stimulus payment to one of the following:

  • Bank account information from the direct deposit of your 2019 or 2020 tax refund,
  • Bank account information you entered on your non-filer registration in 2020,
  • Bank account information you entered on Get My Payment before December 22, 2020, or
  • Banking information used by a federal agency that provides you benefits such as the Social Security Administration, Veteran Affairs, or the Railroad Retirement Board.

If you didn’t update your information with the IRS, they will issue your payment using the latest information they have in your file, not the information you provided to the TurboTax portal.

OK I updated my bank account for the last stimulus check. They had tried to send it but the account was closed. So they fixed it and got it to the correct account. But now the third stimulus check shows that it’s going into the same account that’s closed. How do I get this text
