Directly Deposited to Unkown Account
There are at least a dozen news articles written in the past day or two detailing taxpayers who checked the stimulus status website to find that their stimulus dollars were deposited to an account they don't own. The last 4 numbers that their $ were deposited into as shown on the stimulus update website are not an account they own.
After research, I found several potential scenarios. Not wanting to waste time detailing each of them here - just know that if you receive the status message that you're was deposited into an account you don't own, you're not alone.
I prepared my own taxes, IRS has my correct direct deposit info, however the status message for DH and I reflects direct deposit of our stimulus $ into some unknown account. I imagine we'll eventually receive what we're owed after we work at it. I am more concerned that folks who desperately need their stimulus $ will not get theirs in a timely manner, or at all.
Also - did the IRS send a pile of money to the wrong accounts
