Question

Second Stimulus Payment

Okay so I filed with Turbo tax for the past couple years. Bank account on file and everything. First stimulus deposited with zero issues straight to my bank account. All of these months pass and absolutely nothing on my end has changed. My bank account has stayed the exact same. What do ya know, the IRS is physically mailing the stimulus check per the get my payment tool. The irony is I look up above at stimulus payment 1 and I see the last 4 of my current bank account number. It’s almost comical in a way that they clearly have my correct banking info yet they’re mailing my check. Anyone have any idea why this would be? Is this something to do with filing with Turbo Tax? Did something go through Turbo Taxes account rather than to me? If it says they’re mailing mine can I still expect it to be direct deposited potentially or am I doomed? I’m curious what the deal is. It’s just so bizarre and frustrating that it’s literally right at the tip of their fingers and they blindly chose to mail it. I can’t afford to wait weeks for a physical check as I’m sure is the same with most Americans

    Check the site again.  There was an IRS error.

     

    We are happy to share that stimulus payments will begin to be deposited on January 8th for millions of our customers affected by the IRS error. We expect most of these payments to be available that day, but banks could take a few business days to process.

     

    Payment will be deposited into the same bank account that customers received their 2019 tax refund.

     

    Customers receiving a stimulus payment will receive an email from TurboTax letting them know their stimulus payment is on the way. We have been working tirelessly with the Treasury and IRS to get stimulus payments to our customers. We know how important these funds are for so many Americans and we regret that an IRS error caused a delay.

    I appreciate your response but unfortunately this is not the case for me. It appears the damage has been done already. Nothing for me has changed on the IRS site. At the top it reads 

    Payment #1 status we have schedule your payment to be direct deposited to this account on this date. I’m paraphrasing of course.

    Below for the most recent stimulus reads

    Payment #2 we scheduled your payment to be mailed on Jan 6 to the address on file

    so they clearly have my direct deposit info on file they just mailed it

    It's a generic response I got the same one
