Stimulus Check annoyance

Yes, I filed my taxes for 2018 and 2019 with TurboTax and have been receiving my refunds through direct deposit. Yes, I went to the IRS tool and typed in all the necessary information (in different ways too) to check if they're going to send my stimulus check, but it just keeps on saying payment status not available. Yes, I bookmarked the turbotax COVID-19 website, but they're not giving any sort of updates onto what's going on. I've done all the things they want me to do, but there's no indication onto what the heck is going on. No update, no nothing.

this is the IRS FAQ on this issue

 

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.

I've already gotten my returns for 2019 and finished my taxes for 2019. You said "The application doesn't yet have your data; we’re working on adding more data to allow more people to use it." Is there an update on this? I wish there was a way to check if our data is even submitted.
