@89135. I heard on the news that there was a problem, for people who use preparers like H&R Block. Seems the money was transmitted to them first and they are sending it to their customers. If you used one of these companies, you might call them.

I also heard H&R Block as well as Turbo Tax were having issues.

Are either of those who you filed with?

I received an email from Turbo Tax stating they hope to it cleared up in a few days.

The IRS site is a mess. There’s another thread I started where they showed my 2nd payment being deposited into an incorrect account number.

The next day I looked it said I didn’t exist.

Then it said unknown.

I hope yours gets resolved.

@hippiechick7897 @Kachina624 ...I did use Turbo Tax but this doesnt pertain to me...I had to pay in and used my Bank acct to pay...and IRS shows that they deposited stimulus into MY bank acct...the last 4 digits are my bank acct..so who knows...says they are to mail a letter with additional info on this payment so hopefully I will get some sort of clarification...seems if IRS deposited into my bank that the bank is the one at fault but will wait and see..and yes its a mess everywhere....whew !

@89135 I am not sure that anyone should worry. I received mine in my checking account and I am trying to think of all the ways that I can spend $18.80.

@SXMGirl Well hopefully when or if I do receive mine it will be the full $600

@89135 Maybe you will get the rest of mine!

We file ourselves using Tax Act and had notice last Friday that our refund was 'pending', on Tuesday it was credited to our account.

I used IRS Freefile, aka e-file. My first stimulus check was direct deposited to my checking account right on time. This one for $600 is MIA.

I used the same program to do my son's return last year, and both of his checks came through correctly.

I tried to log in to my e-file account. They said they had to email me a verification code, and it never showed up. So, I assume they are closed, or those accounts used are closed.

It really is a bummer.

The full $600 is phased down for individual AGI above $75,000.

Over about $87,000 you're out.

"Stimulus" you call it?

Re: Direct Deposit

Johnnyeager — Fri, 08 Jan 2021 11:10:11 GMT

Economic Impact Payment, by another name.

got my first simulus check right away--but this time, it went to Turbo Tax which I used for my 2019 taxes--just got a notice that they have it and will pass it on--------what a huge cluster----k this all has been--but then so typical lately

Re: Direct Deposit

Turbotax says they have the problem fixed and checks have gone out today. I didn't use Turbotax, but lo and behold, mine was deposited today.

Just found a forum online with 354 people talking about their stimulus pmt they never got in April even tho irs saying it was deposited...ALL say they have Wells Fargo (as I do) and that is the problem...everyone had a problem with WF...no one said what had happened or if they finally got as the forum stopped in april...I did send emails to a couple higher ups at WF but naturally havent heard back...so at least I know who the problem is with...I did call them also today and you just get someone that tells you what you already know and blames the IRS..I hung up on them.. I am still waiting on the letter to see if any more clarification...this is ridiculous..

This was a problem with TurboTax also. We got an email saying that the money would be a direct deposit today 1/8. It showed up my account this afternoon. My daughter banks with BOA and as of this afternoon she doesn't have it in her account. It might take a few days for it to show up but if you used TurboTax give it a day or two.

I did my daughter's taxes using turbotax online and both of her stimulus payments were deposited directly into her checking account by the treasury dept, not sent to turbotax. I wonder why it's different for some.

Apparently, if you had the kind of return that required payment, and had that payment deducted from your refund, another account was set up in order to take the payment.

I'm just glad that most of them have fixed the problem. Six hundred may not be much, but when everyone else got their's but your's is missing....it makes you wonder "what the heck?"
