The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has an online tracking tool to find out when a taxpayer will receive their stimulus check. Through the "Get My Payment" initiative, many people can find out when the deposit will be made to their bank . In some cases, it allows them to add direct deposit information if it is not already ed with the IRS.
It should be noted that the payments are not a specific figure, but can vary according to the situation of each case. Checks can reach $1,400 per person and $2,800 per married couple filing a t return. Taxpayers can receive an additional $1,400 for each dependent.
How to use the Get My Payment tool?
If you want to use the online of "Get My Payment" to see the expected arrival date of your check, you will need to have the following documentation handy:
- Social Security Number
- Date of birth
- Mailing address used on your tax return
- Copy of your most recent statement
With this data, the IRS will streamline the process if you do not have a deposit scheduled in the system. However, with this information you can also know the exact day you will receive your stimulus check and you will receive one of these three messages when using the Get My Payment tool:
If your payment has been processed, the tool will display a "Payment Status" message indicating the date it was sent. If it has not been processed and you are eligible, the tool will tell you that the "Payment Status Not Available". If the tool displays a "Need More Information" message, your stimulus payment was returned to the IRS because the post office was unable to deliver it.
When will a person receive their stimulus payment through the IRS?
Through the Treasury Department, the IRS has sent 127 million payments worth $325 billion to ed taxpayers. The agency says more payments will be sent weekly by direct deposit, paper checks and prepaid debit cards.
