Stimulus direct deposit, checks and EIP cards.

[misanman]

We received our direct deposit last night. This would have been based on our 2018 tax return as we have not filed for 2019 yet.

IRS Stimulus status/update site is Live

We had to update our info to add an account.

Our circumstances were that we applied our 2018 refund to the first quarter 2019 taxes, and our 2019 return had a balance due which the irs took from the checking. DH gets SS and that deposits to checking. Still had to update deposit info

irs website says my information does not match their records. anyone else have this result? what should I do about it?

 

[ShokWaveRider]

Ours comes up: Payment Status Not Available

We filed a 2018 return and paid our taxes via direct bank transfer (On Line in Turbo Tax), and are eligible based on income levels.

Go Figure, may not be all up to date yet.

I had rounded up to the next dollar and got that message. Then I submitted just the whole dollar amount for AGI and taxes paid without rounding and it worked

This link is to the IRS.gov site . The IRS site says mid-April one can use "Get My Payment" application to check on when payment will be received.

If you owe, then your checking account information is not on your return. Take a look, you should see X's in the account and routing number boxes that are in the refund section. What you're actually doing when you efile a return where you owe money is submitting two different transactions. One is your return, the other is your payment.

Also, when you give the IRS permission to take a direct debit from your account, that is not the same as giving them permission to put a direct deposit into your account. In order to get a direct deposit of the stimulus check, you have to have given permission for a direct deposit which you can do via a tax return that has a refund, or by receiving SS, or by using the special website that's not yet operational. I suspect there's a banking regulation or federal law that requires this since employers also require explicit permission to setup direct deposits, but I haven't gone searching for it.

We usually owe. I provide our checking account information on the return and schedule the date the IRS is allowed to take the money from the account. I efiled our 2019 taxes on February 19th. On April 8th, the IRS took the money from the account via ACH. Our AGI is within the limits to get something.

We're not desperate for the money. I'm just curious as to why a refund would be required vs. having to pay a balance due. Either way, the IRS has our bank account information. I'll check the IRS site when it's functional.

Like many who have posted, I have had only ACH debits by the IRS for at least the last 3 years.

I went to the website link provided above (and in post #126) which is working as of 0530 EDT. I don't think it was operational yesterday. Anyway when I got in it showed they didn't have my bank acct. info. I verified things using my 2019 Line 8b (AGI) and amount owed. Then I was able to add my bank info. I went back in 30 minutes or so later and here is what it shows now.

No checks for us yet..... We only have joint accounts, I wonder if they will use the same one for each of us as we are both eligible (Married Filing Joint).

I got this:

Payment Status Not Available

According to information that we have on file, we cannot determine your eligibility for a payment at this time.

which url did you use? the website I checked didn't ask for an agi or taxes paid.

 

[jpeter1093]

We always file jointly. Our income was over $150,000 in 2018 (and less than 199,000) but much less in 2019 (retirement year). I filed 2019 about 10 days ago. I'm assuming they used 2018's income and see a pending deposit from the IRS for exactly $1200 today. Any idea how (if they reduce by a percentage over $150,000; the deposit is exactly the amount of a 1 person stimulus? Seems a bit off. I would have expected $2400 (joint filing) times xx%=1954.50 or some such amount. Or will another $1200 be incoming in a day or so (if they used 2019 figures)?

 

[street]

Wow! Got it 2400$. Thanks US Gov.

 

[wmc1000]

Got $2400 deposit this AM as well as SS deposit.

 

[wmc1000]

We got 1 $2400 deposit this AM along with regular SS payment.

I'm having the same error using my mom's info. Couldn't get past the first web page.

Got $2400 deposit this AM

Same here.

 

[Corporateburnout]

I suppose they still need your permission to make a deposit rather than a withdrawal.

This could be it I guess.

 

[DektolMan]

Ours also came up: Payment Status Not Available


I wanted to add our bank account number so they could do a direct deposit instead of a paper check. I'll check back later today.

There will be problems...

We applied 2018 refund to 2019. 2019 was filed about a week ago, and that refund is pending in our bank account.

 

[oscar1]

Initially I got the same error you guys got but instead of going all the way back out, then trying again, I hit the Back button on my browser and then it let me in where I had to provide SSN, DOB, 2019 AGI, and 2019 refund amount before entering bank routing and acct. Took all of 1 minute.

 

[MRG]

Crashed 3 times then said our payments are coming today.
