IRS rolls out “Get My Payment” website
According to the IRS eighty million Americans eligible for a coronavirus stimulus payment have already received their money via direct bank deposit.
But what about the rest of us?
If you didn’t file a 2018 or 2019 tax return, or you filed one but weren’t due a refund and therefore didn’t include bank account details, then you’ll need to give the IRS that information so your stimulus payment can be processed quickly.
To solve this problem the IRS has rolled out a new website called “Get my Payment”. To track your payment or enter your banking information click here.
However, some people are seeing an error saying: “Payment Status Not Available.”
According to the IRS, this means the agency could not determine your eligibility for a payment. This may occur for a variety of reasons, for example, if you didn't file either a 2018 or 2019 tax return or you recently filed and the return has not been fully processed.
