It was dated 03/01/2021 and stated our EIP2 payment would be direct deposited.  Um, okay.  Our EIP2 payment was already direct deposited on 01/04/2021...2+ months ago. 


We got one of those too.  I believe a fruit fly has more on the ball.  LOL!!!!  Our letter said the same kind of thing but it said we don't have to do anything.  I was worried about having to pay taxes on the first payment but I don't think anyone does.

I recieved mine a few weeks ago, and it does state towards the bottom to use the information to determine whether you should claim a recovery rebate credit on your 2020 return.  I have included this and the previous letter with my tax paperwork for our accountant when they do our tax return in a couple of weeks.  I believe the letter is more for this use than to notify you of the money being issued.

@IdahoGram  Is right. Some people didn't receive their check and need to claim it when they file their income tax. It has the info you will need to file.

I got the first letter a couple months ago, but never the second. My sister has already gotten the 3rd stimulus money, but I have not.

I don't think you can claim this money on income tax.  You don't have to pay taxes on it either.  Just what I've heard.  Not trying to be smart.

A few people received the letter but no stimulus so t's telling them what they can do to receive it when they file their taxes.  My nephew did not receive the $600 so that's what he will be doing.

@77yangya  Yes you can. Ask your accountant.
