Payment status is still not available for me.

I can't find any useful information that explains the ridiculously long wait (only clickbait articles that repeat the IRS's vague message). I can't call the IRS because its automated service says it's too busy so it hangs me up. Why even bother at this point.

Checked and there was nothing at all. Hope someone didn't take it lol.

Website was updated a couple of hours ago.

I received my $600 tax refund/second stimulus on Wednesday. Now, the website is saying that it will be direct deposited on April 7. Before today it said Not Available.

Yeah I've given up. I never got the last one either. Its not fair and they don't give you any option to work with anyone to figure out why.

I don't know yet. My accountant said he had to wait to file because of the new rule about taxes on unemployment. I'll find out about that soon.

I recently found out that people who were on unemployment last year and have already filed will have to wait until May to get their federal tax refund.

www.nytimes.com

The I.R.S. will begin issuing refunds in May for an unemployment tax break. (Published 2021)

Some Americans who received unemployment benefits last year may have filed their federal tax returns before a new tax break became available.

If the tax refund is on hold, that may delay the stimulus as well if it needs the info from the taxes to be processed before sending it out.

Check was allegedly mailed on the 26th. Still nothing. I'm starting to convince myself it was stolen by a postal worker or something.

Today my usps email shows pictures of my check though I'm getting it as a card which is random. But fuck it as long as I'm finally getting it today.

Oh wow, so it's not just me? I submitted my 2019 taxes via snail mail in July and have yet to receive my refund. I can't even get a hold of them on the phone to ask them what's taking 8+ months to process so I'm just sitting and waiting and expecting them to send me a letter that says I never submitted.

Pretty late on this, but managed to get my $1400 stimulus check via direct deposit not long after they started being distributed. Definitely much sooner than the $600 stimulus check, which I didn't receive until after I had filed for my tax returns.

Checked my status for the first time this year and got this message:

"We scheduled your payment to be mailed on April 2, 2021 to the address we have on file for you.

We will mail you a letter with additional information on this payment."

I guess this is good news? I guess this means I'm finally getting a stimulus?

(Note: these aren't rhetorical questions. I've so resigned myself to never getting a stimulus, I'm struggling to process what precisely this means.)

Yes. Hopefully, you get yours this week.

Mine was mailed to my old address in NJ on the 26th. I set up mail forwarding again a few days before then, but still haven't received anything. USPS informed delivery hasn't shown anything coming. Not sure if the post office will forward this.

Still nothing, and probably nothing until MAY given that thing about refund corrections for the UI deduction.

Got our check that was mailed on 4/2 today. It was supposed to be direct-deposited but changed for some reason. Thanks, Uncle Joe!

My first two stimulus checks were direct deposit. Now the IRS website my check is scheduled to be mailed today. I guess I'll get it when I get it.

Did uh, anyone else get a random three more payments deposited?

Edit: Also, why is this page of the thread so messed up on mobile?

Way to rub it in Fiction. Maybe you should cash it out in gold coins..and post pics..


JK.

I'd out it in a savings account and sit on it until they want it back? The government messes up sometimes. But I'd definitely wait to see if they catch the slip up and have it ready.

At least you could get some interest on it? Maybe put into the market... hopefully gain some how but still have it ready.

Get something out of it for your trouble.

A friend of mine got double fema money for an apartment that wasn't flooded in NO. they never came for it.
