The account number my stimulus check is going to has the last 2 digits backwards. What do I do? Are account numbers so close that it will go into someone else account?

    It is unknown if this will go into someone else's account. Most likely, the deposit will be rejected by the bank, and the IRS will issue a paper check. This will take a while, though. 

     

    If you don't receive the stimulus payment in 2020, you can always receive it as a credit on your 2020 return in 2021. The stimulus is actually an ADVANCE on a credit on your 2020 return.
