It's 4/26/2020 and I've gotten no updates on my stimulus check and everything i read just says keep trying the IRS website, but all I get is the same error. I don't know if others who used turbo tax are having this problem as well but it's very irritating. Does anyone have any advice? I've been checking every day since they added the portal on the website.

    @2197560 what error are you getting?  please be specific. 

     

    have you sent in your 2019 tax return and has it been PROCESSED ?

    It just says Payment status not available, and yes I've already filed and received my refund

    this is the FAQ on the IRS website: 

     

    The Get My Payment application will return "Payment Status Not Available" for several reasons, including:

    • You are required to file a tax return, but:
      • We haven't finished processing your 2019 return
      • The application doesn't yet have your data; we’re working on adding more data to allow more people to use it.
    • You don't usually file a return, and:
      • You used Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info Here but we haven’t processed your entry yet
      • You receive an SSA or RRB Form 1099 or SSI or VA benefits; information has not been loaded onto our systems yet for people who don’t normally file a tax return.
    • You’re not eligible for a payment (see Eligibility).

    We update Get My Payment data once per day, overnight so there is no need to check more often. If you are eligible for a payment and have provided your information either through a recent tax return or the Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info Here application, please check back for updates.
