The Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department will begin delivering a second round of Economic Impact Payments. Here’s what you should know:
-
The IRS is reminding taxpayers that the payments are automatic and they should not contact the IRS or their financial institutions with questions on the timing of the payments.
-
1. How will I receive my stimulus check?
- If you filed your taxes and received a refund through direct deposit in 2018 and/or 2019, and/or the account number used in the previous stimulus payment program the IRS still has your information and your stimulus check will be deposited into the same account reflected in your most recent tax return.
-
2. Don’t have a bank account linked to the IRS for taxes or Social Security?
- You may receive a check in the mail. If you have an account or new address where you would like your stimulus check send visit https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/economic-impact-payments to input your information into the Get My Payment form on the IRS secure website. This is the only approved site by the IRS.
