I want to understand america. Please help me.
So everyone in the country is getting $1200 (as a cheque?!) as a kind of stimulus thing.

what if you've been made unemployed.
In the U.K., for instance, employees can be furloughed and the government will pay 80% of their salary. Is a similar thing happening to furloughed employees in the states?

Got it this morning. As did my fiancee. I put half of mine in savings, the rest in my checking. I also get paid tomorrow, so it's a nice week overall.

I received a visit from the Treasury Fairy. The deposit pretty much just plugged up the whole in my bank left by the laptop I bought.

Got it today. Looks like it was based on our 2018 taxes which doesn't include our child. We filed 2019 taxes about a week and a half ago but it seems it was not early enough. Not a big deal. Either way, $2400 will help a good deal right now.

So what can we do if it states "Payment Status Not Available" and we've already filled our 2019 and 2018 tax returns? IRS has my direct deposit information, hasn't changed recently but my address did this year. I don't see anywhere to add or verify direct deposit information?

Don't it always seem to go
That you get your stimulus and it's gone
They sent out a check
And people will just pay bills

Just had to go to the IRS website to enter stuff from my tax return since I owed money (accidentally took an extra deduction on my paychecks), put in my info and bank account and they said they'll get it to me. I was surprised the website worked, to be honest.

Asking for the GF:

So, in 2018, she didn't receive a tax return - she had to pay taxes. Where would she go to check if she will receive it or how?

Get My Payment | Internal Revenue Service

The Get My Payment application is no longer available. You can still claim a missing payment and view your payment history.

But it's slammed right now

Yup got the payment not available as well. Just filed 2019 but did 2018 through turbotax. Used direct deposit for return and still that. Not surprised lol

Get my payment portal keeps saying they can't determine my eligibility. Sucks. My brother in law got his for my sister and their kids. Girlfriend got hers. I got my federal refund so um wondering what the issue is

Put in my DD info this morning and now getting the Payment Status Not Available message. Wonderful. Guess I'll just have to wait and check again later/daily.

Quoting myself. Two hours later and I just checked again. It's now showing up on the IRS site as being eligible for payment, shows my account number, and says it will update a deposit date when it has one.

Alert for Bank of America people:

I'm BoA, filed 2019 with direct deposit info and the IRS tool said they still didn't have my DD info.

I just submitted it and it was accepted. It now says awaiting payment date.

So if you're BoA maybe you should check the IRS site and make sure you're good.

I checked the IRS site and even though they have our bank info to take the money we owed them for taxes, they didn't have our bank info and I put it in.

Took the same steps this morning but haven't checked since adding my DD info, this is a helpful update. I'll just wait until things settle to check again. Thanks!
