“#How to track the third stimulus check and find out its status<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The feds have created a way to see when your third coronavirus stimulus check will arrive \u2014\u00a0but it\u2019s far from foolproof.<\/p>\n

The Internal Revenue Service reopened its \u201cGet My Payment\u201d tool<\/a> so taxpayers can track the status of the $1,400 payments that started hitting bank accounts over the weekend.<\/p>\n

The tool should be familiar to anyone who received either of the first two economic impact payments Congress authorized last year. It\u2019s a simple online form that should tell you whether your payment has been processed and when to expect it \u2014 after you enter your Social<\/a> Security number, birth date, street address and ZIP code.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the tool\u2019s latest iteration faced complaints from people who didn\u2019t see details about when the much-needed money would arrive.<\/p>\n

\u201cGet My Payment\u201d became a trending topic on Twitter Monday morning as taxpayers griped<\/a> about the tool spitting out four dreaded words: \u201cPayment Status \u2013\u00a0Not Available.\u201d<\/p>\n

The IRS says<\/a> there are three reasons you might see that vague message. It\u2019s possible that your payment just hasn\u2019t been processed yet, or the IRS doesn\u2019t have enough information to send it to you.<\/p>\n

It may also mean that you\u2019re not eligible for the check. Congress tightened the eligibility rules so that anyone making more than $80,000 a year won\u2019t receive any money. Full payments are still available to individuals who had an income of up to $75,000 on their 2019 or 2020 tax return.<\/p>\n

While it may be tough to wait, the IRS urged taxpayers to be patient. The \u201cGet My Payment\u201d tool updates daily, so check back regularly if the payment status isn\u2019t available right away. Most checks should arrive automatically, and calling the IRS or your bank won\u2019t speed up the process, officials say.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though the tax season is in full swing, IRS employees again worked around the clock to quickly deliver help to millions of Americans struggling to cope with this historic pandemic,\u201d IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig said in a statement<\/a> last week.<\/p>\n

If the IRS has your information on file, Get My Payment should tell you the date of the payment that will come by paper check or direct deposit, which is what most people will get.<\/p>\n

The tool may show some taxpayers a \u201cNeed More Information\u201d message, which means the Postal Service was unable to deliver your payment. Those people can use Get My Payment to submit bank account information to the IRS.<\/p>\n

The Get My Payment tool wasn\u2019t the only source of grief for taxpayers awaiting their stimulus funds.<\/p>\n

JPMorgan Chase<\/a> and Wells Fargo<\/a> customers slammed the banks on social media after they said the funds would not be available until at least Wednesday even though the first checks arrived this weekend.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because March 17 is the official payment date on the first batch of checks, according to the banks. The IRS says some people may see the direct deposits show up as pending or provisional payments before that date.<\/p>\n

This also isn\u2019t the first batch of complaints about Get My Payment. The tool told some people earlier this year that their $600 stimulus checks had been sent to unfamiliar bank accounts as the result of a snafu involving tax-preparation firms.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As the IRS distributed the first $1,200 checks last spring, some people who owed no tax and didn\u2019t get a refund on their most recent tax return were temporarily unable to expedite their payments before the feds fixed a bug in the Get My Payment tool.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
