I received the email from turbotax about the IRS error and the checks are being deposited however the IRS website still says status not available. Will I be receiving it?

I dont know if I will be receiving the payment or not. Not sure if I should claim on my taxes

Yes, you should receive your stimulus payment even if the IRS status is Not Available. Updates may not be immediately reflected on IRS.gov, including the Get My Payment tool. 

  • 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.

Customers receiving a stimulus payment will receive an email from TurboTax letting them know their stimulus payment is on the way. We have been working tirelessly with the Treasury and IRS to get stimulus payments to our customers. We know how important these funds are for so many Americans and we regret that an IRS error caused a delay.

 

We are happy to share that stimulus payments will begin to be deposited on January 8th for millions of our customers affected by the IRS error. We expect most of these payments to be available that day, but banks could take a few business days to process. Payment will be deposited into the same bank account that customers received their 2019 tax refund.
