I finally got into the IRS’s website after 2 hours of trying to load it and found they have the wrong account number.

They put my account number as last 4 digits of my SSN. It was supposed to be deposited today but I have no pending transactions. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

I had no problems with the first stimulus. Anyone else have this happen?

@hippiechick7897.  I'd call the bank and see if they have any advice.  Could have been THEIR mistake.  Maybe it could be fixed.

I would think the IRS has all of your records listed under your SS number.  They would never expose your info showing you full SS number and they would nit list your back account number.

I don't think this is an error. Showing your last four digits of your SS number sounds okay/normal to me.

@hippiechick7897  I also got into the website and it says my check would be deposited on 1/4/2021 (today)..still doesnt show in my bank acct and no pending status either...I am hoping by tomorrow I will see it in there (maybe after midnight).....it did show my last 4 digits of my acct and NOT my SS tho....so that would be a concern to me also..At the bottom of IRS website it did say:

     If you don't see your payment credited to your account, check with your bank to verify they received it. We will mail you a letter with additional information on this payment.

@Carmie my OP may not have been clear.

The site shows the last four digits of the account number they’re going to be depositing into. It is showing the last four digits of my SSN as my bank account number which is not correct.

The SSN is a verification piece you put in to access but the site doesn’t show the SSN anywhere.

My first stimulus (April) shows directly above it and correctly lists my bank account number that it was direct deposited into.

@hippiechick7897   You were clear. I just didn't check the site  before I responded.  My error.

I checked my account just now and my account number was showing. I wonder what it looks like when they issue a check instead of direct deposit.

I see now why you are concerned.

@Carmie  I got a paper check the last time and it never had that info ...It just said it was scheduled for a certain date..

Same thing happened to me. I went on the IRS site and for the 1st stimulus it showed my correct bank info for the 2nd it showed some other account number that wasn't mine and it was deposited into this other account today as well.

my daughter checked hers today.

hers says that a check will go out on 1/6/2021 for the 2nd stimulus payment.

there is nothing showing when she puts in her information requested.....no social security number is exposed, no other information.

for myself, i checked and mine is being deposited on january 4th and i do see it as pending in my account. both payment one and payment two have my correct last four digits of my checking account number.

If you go to the site, it states your payment information cannot be changed. If you don't get a payment and you are eligible to receive one, it may be claimed on your 2020 tax return as the Recovery Rebate Credit. If your benefits are currently deposited to a Direct Express Card, your economic payments will also be deposited to that card. The bank information shown in Get My Payment will be a number associated with your Direct Express Card and may be a number you don't recognize. This is if

you receive SSA, RRB, SSI or VA benefits via Direct Express.

Hope this helps.
