Check the status on my $1,200 check

[Tribetime]

It said your status cannot be determined at the present time I worked for myself I paid taxes I made 29000 so I guess I'm out of luck

[Skittles]

1. ?

you should get it, it just may take more time in your case

[pbmus]

2. Checks in the mail...

[mvd]

3. It also said that for me, but I assume..

It did because the site was not working right?

[leftieNanner]

4. The website is screwed up

Everybody is getting that message now. It doesn't mean anything except that Donnie Two Scoops created something broken again! Just be patient.

[Tribetime]

7. I hope you're right I talked to my brother who also works for himself

And he said that in Ohio that people that work for themselves or having a problem right now trying to get it

[elleng]

5. 'your status cannot be determined at the present time' is being told to MANY.

It's not the time to say/think 'I'm out of luck.'

[Tribetime]

10. Thank you I feel better I'll starting to want to punch Trump in the face again

[elleng]

13. Punch him for me too, please!

6. It says they can't determine my eligibility at this time.

They didn't have my direct deposit info previously because I've never owed or gotten anything back before. I added it to my 2019 return and sent it in a few weeks ago but I'm assuming they are still processing it.

Would be a lot simpler if they just had a web portal where you could verify your identity and just enter it yourself. They have something like that for people that never file but I don't want to use it in case it screw up whoever is trying to enter the info off my tax return. I've heard it can take up to a month for them to process them.

What a mess. The "Check status of my payment" website should have been up weeks ago with the option to verify how you want to receive the payment, which address to use or which bank account to send it to.

Instead we get "don't call us, we're sorting it" for a month and then "we've already sent a bunch, still don't call us. Trust us, you're fine."

What about all the people that moved house since filing their 2018 return who are going to get checks going to the wrong address?

8. You will get it. But, it probably won't be directly deposited unless

you got a refund in recent years so that they have your bank account info. As I understand it, there is a place ion IRS website to provide bank account info. Good luck.

[Freethinker65]

9. Same for me, and many others. My husband and I qualify.

I checked twitter just for fun. We are not the only ones getting the "status cannot be determined" message. We have conventional jobs and owe every year because of investments. We will get something eventually, and so will you.

[Tribetime]

11. Thanks for all the replies if I do get a paper check with his name on it

I am going to direct deposited on my phone and then I'm going to use it for toilet paper

[rzemanfl]

12. I predicted they would make a cluster fuck of this quite a while ago.

Easy call.

[MontanaMama]

14. The site said the same thing for me.

All of my employees got theirs today. My accountant says I’m eligible so I went online to check the status and the site was working correctly.

[Ferrets are Cool]

15. I had to pay because I am self-employed

so, I found out today that I have to go online and give them my bank info. It takes about 3 minutes. Make sure to have your tax info before you sign on.

16. Default message when site overloaded. Try later.

That message was the default when the site was overloaded. I think they have now replaced it with too busy, try later. But you should try later, maybe at 2 am, maybe tomorrow.

Many many people got your message.
