Stimulus Checks

The stimulus checks are already being deposited!  If the IRS, or the Treasury Department has your direct deposit information, there is nothing else you need to do.  The money will just show up in your account.  This also goes for those getting Social Security, SSI, and Railroad Retirement benefits.  Think about it, you get your deposit into your account now so they can just put that stimulus money in your account right along with it.

If you have not used direct deposit for your refund and don't get any federal benefits, then you will need to enter in your information on the IRS page.  https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/non-filers-enter-payment-info-here

Just follow the directions on the page to enter in the information they ask for.  If you want to see if you are eligible for this money, please go to this page https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/economic-impact-payment-information-center

The IRS has also opened a link where you can check the status of your money.  If it comes back as unavailable, then you probably receive your benefits from an agency, like Social Security, and the IRS doesn't have that information at its disposal.  Don't stress it, eventually that money will be deposited.  https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/get-my-payment 

For security reasons, the IRS plans to mail a letter about the economic impact payment to the taxpayer’s last known address within 15 days after the payment is paid. The letter will provide information on how the payment was made and how to report any failure to receive the payment. If a taxpayer is unsure they’re receiving a legitimate letter, the IRS urges taxpayers to visit IRS.gov first to protect against scam artists.
