Why do I get an Access Denied reply when trying to get my stimulus check information ?

are you trying too frequently? there is a 24 hour lockout after 3 tries.  

I’ve been getting that same message for 2 weeks or so...

I‘I’ve waited up to 2 days before trying again still getting the same message..... tried asking the same message on the stimulus web site.. all I got back is a no available message. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help..

IRS FAQ:

Get My Payment will display one of the following payment statuses:

1. Payment Status (one of two statuses) –

• A payment has been processed, a payment date is available, and payment is to be sent either by direct deposit or mail.
• You are eligible, but a payment has not been processed and a payment date is not available.

1. Need More Information – You are eligible for a payment, but we do not have your direct deposit information. You will be given the opportunity to provide your bank information once you have properly verified your identity. Direct Deposit is the fastest way to get your EIP.

1. Payment Status Not Available

    – We cannot determine your eligibility for a payment at this time. For example, this could mean:

• 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 receive an SSA or RRB Form 1099 or SSI or VA benefits; information has not been loaded onto our systems yet for people who don’t normally file a tax return.
• You’re not eligible for a payment (see Eligibility).

Same Problem.  All listed answers are bogus.  Users, don't answer if you don't know!

I got this too when using Windows 10 FireFox.  Had success using Microsoft Edge.

Did you get an "ACCESS DENIED" response as soon as you entered your information ?  If not then your response is not valid. Please respond to the question that was actually asked.

Using Edge fixed it for me, maybe clearing the browser cache fixes it too

I was told I would get 1200.00 stimulus an it's been well over a month an still have not received no email or no stimulas check an people that file taxes got a stimulus check someone put my info in when I go to check get my payment

The IRS can look at your 2018 or 2019 return to issue a stimulus check.  If they do not have a 2018 return then you may be waiting for them to finish processing 2019 before they will be able to use it to issue your stimulus check.

TurboTax has no control over your stimulus check, nor can TT track it for you or tell you when the IRS will issue it. Refer to the sites linked below:

Reference #18.c81a32b[phone number removed].e80539

Please tells me what is the problem...

I get the same thing access denied unauthorized apache something or other put my info correct hit ok and access denied instantly tried every browser

yes please only post relevant answers this is ridiculous turbo tax should have known these payments were going to be intercepted by third party accounts that are closed I file then have them take out the fees when I get my return so anybody that goes that route is screwed now because it goes to a closed account they used for taking fees first got the first check no problem because it was march just after tax season so third party account was still active and they re routed it right away but turbo tax knew this shame you turbo tax I was a four year customer but i will go else where now if I would have paid the fees for tax prep last year upfront I wouldnt have this problem but its always the little guys or gals who get jacked terrible and spokesman said they are working with IRS to get TT customers payments yeah we are screwed until end of feb or begging of march until we file returns and can imagine the wait time this year on that with these payments right before tax time BS 

You don't have permission to access [remove] on this server. Reference [remove] [phone number removed]this the message I get trying every browser available on the get my payments IRS site [remove] anyone else?

I was getting that too until I started checking it after midnight.  Their servers are probably overloaded during the day.  This is the IRS we are talking about.  They are probably still using 1960's tech.

yikes

I got "Access Denied" today using Mozilla's Firefox [Version 84.0.2 (64-bit)], but Microsoft Edge [Version 87.0.664.75 (Official build) (64-bit)] worked okay. 😠

The problem for me was using Firefox, I was blocked every time. But gained access using either Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome. Firefox was causing the problem.

This is the fix folks. Bill Gates has his [removed].  Firefox, chrome, etc.. not working. IE unprotected (no adblockers etc.) worked fine. Edge, with blockers disabled, I'm sure will also work. 

I was using firefox browser and it did the same thing to me. Tried again using edge (only other browser i had installed at the time) and it worked on that one. Try a different browser.

Had the same issue today (2/16/2021) using Mozilla Firefox.  Switched to Safari and had no problem.

Cookies MUST BE ENABLED. 

I was using Brave, where everything is blocked. I switched to edge, and it worked.

I actually got an error message from the site itself explaining this detail about cookies when trying on the newest safari (Feb 2021 ver). I couldn't get safari to work, though.

anyhow, It's a browser/cookie error

Here's what the error looks like:

I had this problem with the Firefox browser. If that's the browser you're using, then try Safari or something and that should work. Fixed it for me.

Seems to be using firefox gives this message, switch to a different internet browser.... i got this message when using firefox, switched to microsoft edge and it let me right in

I wanted to thank you for your post.  I had tried Firefox and Chrome, and then read your post about using Microsoft Edge to find the answer to my inquiry.
