Why havent I received the second stimulus email?

I received the first email about the stimulus delay due to IRS. Why is everyone else getting the second email but me?

In this forum we can't answer why some may be receiving emails and some may not.  However, we can confirm the following:  

 


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.

 

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.

Unfortunately, TurboTax cannot determine the status of your stimulus check for privacy reasons. That information is held in confidence by the IRS. You can call the IRS at 1-800-919-9835 and they may be able to help you.

Yes, after claiming the Recovery Rebate Credit, if you meet the new rules for the third stimulus, you would be able to get the money.
