Still "Payment status not available" for me. I filed with Turbotax last year. Any updates on what I should do?
If at least I knew I'm receiving something even if in check in a few months I would stop thinking about this but that "cannot determine you eligibility" part is really worrying.
Payment status still not available. Great.
I'll ask again since I can't find it. Is there a place where we put our bank info on the IRS site?

Payment status not available, but I imagine its due to being a freelancer who filed way late (with extension) last year. I'll get it eventually....
Right I get that. I can't find the place to actually put the info though.
Supposed to come up right after you enter SS# and Address.
Got to it once then it error'd out on me and I haven't been able to get back there since due to lockouts/forgetting which way I formatted my address.
That error people are getting, for me at least, is an address or SS# input error (add dashes to SS#, change Street to St., etc etc) I got that error about 3 times then switched my address up and added dashes to SS# and finally got thru. Thing is...you can only test that like 3x before a 24hour lockout.
If it makes you feel better there's probably millions of us.
Everytime I put my info it just says Payment Status Not Available so I'm kinda stuck for now sadly.
It makes me feel sad for those people too cause I know that there are people out there who desperately need this.
Ive done nearly every possible permutation of mine, there's not much I can switch up, no go.
Sorry to hear. It's a general error too. Wished it worked for you!
They should get it automatically this coming week, iirc. Since their banking info is already in the system.
Mine still says payment status not available. I'm happy to see it's working for some but I'm getting a bit anxious now.
Status not available, my tax return is nowhere to be found, and I've been denied unemployment
I'm so fucking over this
I'm so fucking over this
So I think I am in the same limbo state as others where I get the generic message and cannot update anything- my 2018 return owed money and I haven't filed my 2019 yet. My question is, if I file for 2019 would that unlock things, even though I am again going to owe money in 2019? Seems like I would still have the same problem- since my bank info will be used to take money, it won't qualify as direct deposit.
Mine also just changed from direct deposit to... paper check mailed April 24th.
They'd had all my information correctly on the first try.
At this point, I would honestly assume Trump screamed at somebody to send checks instead because of the signature.

So the ability to input bank info went away for me (couldnt anyway since their system is broken) and now just says im getting a check sent the 24th.
Many states you must be denied regular unemployment to be eligible for the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance. For NJ, you apply, get denied, file an appeal, then they give it to you. Even a PDF stating exactly that.
I'm pretty certain appeals would be pretty much automated in everyone's favor. Of course it depends on the state.
Couple of questions, if you don't mind me asking. If it was Payment Status Not Available, I assume that means it never got to a place where you could input your DD info. Had you filed your 2019 taxes? If so, when?
Same boat as you two. But my fiance that used turbo tax last year got hers no problem. Ugh h:(
Yeah, I'd been checking the last couple days and got a Payment Status Not Available screen each time, so there was no option to input DD info. I did file 2019 returns but only like a week or so, so I wonder if filing that recently might have delayed things? But I'd also filed 2018 returns last year so I don't know why that'd be a hang up

You would have gotten a benefit for claiming her for 2019. It does suck for people who would have gotten a bigger benefit for not claiming their dependents, but unfortunately that's how it works.
Yeah my coworkers and I were talking about this last week (we're in tax).
It's very scummy. Circular 230 does state that you can't take your client's refund. These tax prep companies have skirted the technical requirements by working with banks to set up accounts in the taxpayer's name for the refund to be deposited to.
Honestly, I think I have a post about it on these forums. I'm not a fan, but it's a way for people to get money INSTANTLY I guess.
I suspected something like this would happen. They really should have split it into two or more databases... one for checking the status of your refund, one for updating bank information, instead of putting everything together.TurboTax's website now says that if you owed in 2019 (I did), you will get the check by mail.
Their FAQ page for the 2020 stimulus check states, "If you had a balance due this year, the IRS will mail a paper stimulus check to the address on your 2019 return, unless you were sent a refund by direct deposit in 2018, in which case your stimulus payment will be sent to that account."

So, that makes it sound like it's not even worth it to use the Get My Payment site? Ugh what a mess.
They also backtracked the whole "if we have your bank information on file, be it direct deposit or direct debit, then we'll deposit your refund."
Overpromised honestly. I didn't know how they were going to pull it off, ESPECIALLY with so many IRS offices closed.
Finally got through lol
Had to use dashes on the SS# and put 62nd St not 62 St or 62 Street
We scheduled your check to be mailed on April 24, 2020 to the address we have on file for you.
We will mail you a letter with additional information on this payment.
Which is very strange because I had definitely gotten to the inputting the account and routing number for my bank account 2 days ago then it error'd out and I got locked out.
If I had to guess, they're purposely fudging the website so people get more vVVvVvvvVvvv checks in the mail. It's obvious as fuck and I wouldn't put it past this admin at all lol

Feels like there must have been a big update last night. Me and my girlfriend both got through finally to enter bank account info.
Signed up for direct deposit the day it went live. Received a physical check last night. Sure, okay.
