If you received a refund or payed in taxes, use that information to enter into Get My Payment and you’ll be asked to enter your direct deposit information.

We payed into state and I used the information from that form and it worked.

Thanks everybody. Maybe this will help someone else.

Don't understand why direct deposit info had to be entered again but it worked so I’m happy.

@Reconnaissant Goodness, these payments have only been going out for a short time! I doubt anyone here knows when you'll get yours.

Be patient. It could take through sometime in May from what I understand.

@Reconnaissant,

Did you check your bank balance?   Ours was deposited in our account, no check.

I checked w/no satisfaction. I always have to pay in tho.

You can check on the IRS.Gov Get my payment. The site is having trouble getting the information necessary.  Many are getting Payment Status Not Available. I would try it.  The site has answers to many questions concerning your check.

I hope this has helped.

We have not received ours yet.  When we filed both our 2018 and 2019 taxes, I provided our direct deposit information, but we ended up having to pay some federal tax so the direct deposit wasn't used. 

Yesterday, I went to the IRS site and checked, using my husband's social security number. It said they didn't have his direct deposit info on file so I entered it. 

What is interesting is that it asks for your adjusted gross income from your tax return.  I put that in, but our return is a joint return so that figure was for both of us.  But yet, I was just entering info under his social security number.  Very confusing. 

So now, I don't know what to do with MY social security number. It will again ask for the adjusted gross income, Which I already entered under my husbands number. So do I enter it again????

I have decided to do nothing right now. I read that after this first wave, they will then do social security recipients. My husband and I both draw social security AND we both use direct deposit for that so hopefully it will show up then. 

Oh, and there is nothing under frequently asked questions on the IRS site that addresses this.

Is your direct deposit info on file with the IRS or do you receive SS via direct deposit?  If yes, keep checking through next week.  If it's not on file, go to IRS. gov and you will see a spot to enter your bank information.

Paper Checks Will Take Longer

If the IRS has to send you a paper check, you won't get your payment until late April at best. And the higher your income, the longer it will take to get your money. (For taxpayers without children, stimulus check amounts are reduced to zero for single taxpayers with adjusted gross income above $99,000, head-of-household filers with AGI above $136,500, and joint filers with AGI above $198,000.) According to reports, here's the timetable the IRS plans to use for mailing paper stimulus checks:
