Hi, I should be eligible to receive the stimulus check and I have correctly filed my taxes. However, when I try to get the payment, all I can see is "Payment Status not Available". Is there anything I can do about it?
No, there is nothing more you can do concerning the stimulus payment.
Only the IRS determines when or if a stimulus payment is distributed. It may well be that the IRS has not yet added your information into the payment status website.
Use this IRS website for get my payment FAQ's - https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/get-my-payment-frequently-asked-questions#paymentnot
The Get My Payment application will return "Payment Status Not Available" for several reasons, including:
- You are required to file a tax return, but:
- We haven't finished processing your 2019 return
- The application doesn't yet have your data; we’re working on adding more data to allow more people to use it.
- You don't usually file a return, and:
- You used Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info Here but we haven’t processed your entry yet
- You’re not eligible for a payment (see EIP Eligibility and General Information).
If you receive “Payment Status Not Available”, you will not be able to provide direct deposit information at this time. We’re working on updates to allow more people to use this feature.
We update Get My Payment data once per day, overnight so there is no need to check more often. If you are eligible for a payment and have provided your information either through a recent tax return or the Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info Here application, please check back for updates.
