When are the stimulus checks being released?

TurboTax has NO control over your stimulus check, nor can TT track it or tell you when you will receive it.  The IRS will use the same banking information for the 2nd stimulus that they used for the first one.  If that account (or card) is closed then the stimulus will go back to the IRS and they will mail you a check.

 

See this information from the IRS:

From the IRS:

 

 

How do I find out if the IRS is sending me a payment?

People can check the status of both their first and second payments by using the Get My Payment tool, available in English and Spanish only on IRS.gov. The tool is being updated with new information, and the IRS anticipates the tool will be available again in a few days for taxpayers.

 

How will the IRS know where to send my payment? What if I changed bank accounts?

The IRS will use the data already in our systems to send the new payments. Taxpayers with direct deposit information on file will receive the payment that way. For those without current direct deposit information on file, they will receive the payment as a check or debit card in the mail. For those eligible but who don’t receive the payment for any reason, it can be claimed by filing a 2020 tax return in 2021. Remember, the Economic Impact Payments are an advance payment of what will be called the Recovery Rebate Credit on the 2020 Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR.

 

 

Where can I get more information?

For more information about Economic Impact Payments and the 2020 Recovery Rebate, key information will be posted on IRS.gov/eip. Later this week, you may check the status of your payment at IRS.gov/GetMyPayment. For other COVID-19-related tax relief, visit IRS.gov/Coronavirus.

When are the stimulus checks being released?

When are the stimulus checks being released?

this is the best place for further information: 

 

https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/get-my-payment

 

is it supposed to be live on Monday.

 

further note, that by law, the IRS will stop sending payments on January 15th.  Anyone who does not receive a payment they are eligible for is to claim the rest on their 2020 tax return.  There is a 'settle up' section of the 2020 tax return for this very purpose.  it is at the END of the interview process in Turbo Tax and is not yet updated to accommodate the 2nd stimulus.
