^^^ That's the problem then. They're looking at that with no bank info

[stevej37]

You might be able to speed it up by adding the bank info..otherwise it'll come by a check.

The good part is...if you wait for a check, you'll get one with Trumps pic on it.

edit: I thought it was his pic..but it's only his signature. oh well

As I thought about this some more I agree this is the issue . But the info is there from the previous year but maybe they don't check for previous year ? I guess I will play around on the website with my info and my wife's and see if we can get the error message cleared up . If not then we wait for checks . I feel better just having the website clarify that I qualify for the payment . You guys are great thanks for the feedback/advice .

I don't see that as a positive 😁

We couldn't get H&R Block on the phone so we sent an email . Our preparer confirmed we do qualify for $2400.00 stimulus check and the IRS will go back to previous year to find our data . So if they do that they will see all the info they need to deposit into our checking .

I guess if for any reason the IRS can't find our bank info they will send a paper check as last resort . So for now we wait . I will update if/when we receive results . Thanks again guys 😊

Dont bet on that. I did my taxes and used direct deposit both this year (filed in March), and also 2019...both years used the same bank info. Both years I owed, so I don't know if that makes a difference, but when I went to the IRS site it found me, but said it did not have my bank info.

I was able to enter my bank info but it has now been several days and every time I check it, it always says "We have your bank info and once we know your payment date, we will post that information here"

Don't know if I missed the first wave or payments but still got nothing and they had my bank info the whole time.

I believe the issue is that they are only looking for info on your most recent return.

If you already filed in 2019 and did not provide direct deposit info for whatever reason, they are not looking further back.

I did a paper check last year, and direct deposit this year. I barely recieved the overpayment for taxes this week. I fall in that catch 22 of recent filed taxes=no direct deposit. IRS stimulus portal is doa. I like free money like the rest of the schmucks, but if it's goverment. It takes time.

I read somewhere this am that if you file form SSA-1099 (for retired ss recipients) your check will be delayed to later in the month.

Minor update : This morning I went on the gov website and successfully added our bank info , confirmed by the website as a successful transaction . I will check the " status " of our refund next week to see what it say's .

[stevej37]

^^^ I just now, did the same...went well.
Almost all the people/friends around here that I have talked to ...have not seen the bank deposit yet.

[rfuerst911sc]

Steve that is interesting as ALL of my family members have received theirs . My two sons , my mother in law and my older brother . I'm the black sheep 😂

[rfuerst911sc]

Hey everyone so this morning I decided to check the website and see if any progress . Unfortunately I still get a message stating they need my direct deposit info , you gotta love government efficiency . I don't believe there is much I can do other than wait .

When you're checking on the IRS website, what kind of address did you give? Did you include the "St" or "Dr" or whatever? What about apartments?

The site doesn't seem to recognize that either me or my wife exist, and I'm wondering if I'm just being stupid when trying to put information into the search. I also think the Feds hate us, they've had large (5 figure) returns where the "Find my Return" page has the money appear, disappear, pretend as if we never filed, then suddenly a check arrives several months later. WTF?

[Arizona_928]

For me it worked either way. Drive or dr.
Mine came through today. The system give me the generic no go message, then one day it gave the eta and bank info. Portal is only updated every 24 hours.

I give our exact address as it appears on all documents and mail . I think/hope it's a timing issue on when our data will be updated on their end .

[stevej37]

If filing as 'single' and your AGI is over 75K...they have said, it will not be sent in the first few waves of deposits. (because of reducing the payment)
I don't know what the amt. is for filing other than single...but that would be delayed also.

I haven't seen mine yet either...for that reason.

[rfuerst911sc]

I just logged into the website and it now states we are owed the stimulus payment AND that it will be direct deposited to account *** which is the data we supplied the other day . The website states it is updated once a day and that it will eventually show our payment as being deposited . So we're making baby steps forward .
