Have Your Coronavirus Stimulus Money? If Not, These Tools Might Help You Get It Faster
April 19, 2020
The IRS has deposited the first economic impact payments into taxpayers’ bank accounts and released two tools to help others get their money faster.
The initial round of payment to 80 million people hit bank accounts over the weekend into last week.
A new “Get My Payment” tool from the IRS will show the projected date when a deposit has been scheduled, similar to the “Where’s My Refund tool” many taxpayers are already familiar with.
Get My Payment also allows people a chance to provide their bank information. People who did not use direct deposit on their last tax return will be able to input information to receive the payment by direct deposit into their bank account, expediting receipt.
Get My Payment is updated once daily, usually overnight. The IRS urges taxpayers to only use Get My Payment once a day given the large number of people receiving Economic Impact Payments.
Available only on IRS.gov, the online application is safe and secure to use. Taxpayers only need a few pieces of information to quickly obtain the status of their payment and, where needed, provide their bank account information. Having a copy of their most recent tax return can help speed the process.
Get My Payment cannot update bank account information after an Economic Impact Payment has been scheduled for delivery. To help protect against potential fraud, the tool also does not allow people to change bank account information already on file with the IRS.
In addition to Get My Payment, Treasury and IRS have a second a new web tool allowing quick registration for Economic Impact Payments for those who don’t normally file a tax return.
The Non-filers: Enter Payment Info tool, developed in partnership between the IRS and the Free File Alliance, provides a free and easy option designed for people who don’t have a return filing obligation, including those with too little income to file. The new web tool is available only on IRS.gov, and users should look for Non-filers: Enter Payment Info Here to take them directly to the tool.
Non-filers: Enter Payment Info is designed for people who did not file a tax return for 2018 or 2019 and who don’t receive Social Security retirement, disability (SSDI), or survivor benefits and Railroad Retirement benefits.
Eligible taxpayers who filed tax returns for 2019 or 2018 will receive the payments automatically. Automatic payments will also go in the near future to those receiving Social Security retirement, or disability (SSDI), or survivor benefits and Railroad Retirement benefits.

I haven’t recieved an check yet
i HAVE NOT received my stimulus payment I don’t know why? are you able to let me know why.
I have not received my payment
Me and my wife filed joint taxes and have received or stimulus check, she works full time and I’m on disability, do I still qualify for the extra $1200 stimulus money?
I was not required nor did I file 2018 or 2019 tax returns. I applied for coronavirus impact payment through non filers on irs.gov . All information was true and correct, including my direct deposit info. I finally got through the status not available to you are eligible for payment, so I filled out the required form confirming ssn, bank and routing numbers. They want agi and refund or owed amounts typed in which are 0. So now they are giving me an error message, that I can’t receive payment until I provide a dollar amount. I am retired, don’t collect any Social Security whatsoever. I live off my saved money I put aside since I began working. I’m 53 and am years from applying for SS.
I don’t have the same account so how can I update my information . I already filed the free form site . Now they saying I have to send in documentation proving I’m who I say I am because I moved to Florida a year ago .
My daughter is married and had a baby in July of 2019. She submitted her taxes early and had included her child as a dependent for 2019 but only got a stimulus check for herself and spouse. Is she supposed to do something to get the stimulus check for her daughter?
Did not receive my stimulus check
That’s so nice of the federal government to give out about $1200 to so many. And at a cost of $2,200,000,000,000, that only costs each tax payer about $17,500.
I owe irs and Jackson Hewitt did my 2019 tax am I not eligible?
My dad is on SS. His was a direct deposit just like his monthly payment. I pretty much have to pay in every year but because I pay from my checking account, I got my payment also because my account was already on file.
Too many people worried about a check that haven’t lost any money. Myself I do not work, have not lost any income so it matters not if I get a check. If I do I will give it to someone who is in need due to the virus causing them loss of income. To all of you who get a check may God bless you and may you use it wisely.

Go on to the IRS.GOV website to GET MY PAYMENT. Enter the information requested. I PAID this year, too, directly from my account. It said I qualified for the stimulus, but they needed more info. I entered my banking information… again. It now says they will let me know the date I will receive the stimulus. The site updates once daily.
I receive SS benefits (retired) that are directly deposited to my bank account. Is this sufficent information for the fed to automatically forward stimulus check to my account?
Can I assume the fed has in its system my bank routing info necessary to receive the stimulus check?
We have direct wire paid our Federal income tax DUE each year…never have we received a refund into our direct account. Does this suffice for the Fed to direct deposit the stimulus check into our account? No mention of this scenario in any publication
