Should I be worried if we have direct deposit but didn't get our stimulus check?

[renate]

I can't find anything online saying that people with direct deposit for their tax returns might not all get their checks today. I tried the IRS's tracker and they say they don't have enough information in my record to tell me what's going on. Anybody else in this boat?

1. Do you make more than 100 K

[StTimofEdenRoc]

2. The news said spead over the next few days CNN

[renate]

4. oh thank goodness!

Everything I saw said all of the deposits should have been made by today.

Thank you so much!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

27. My understanding is that the deposits were going first to those with

lowest incomes. I'm under the impression that it will be at least a couple of weeks for all the direct deposits.

Then they'll start mailing checks to people who don't do direct deposit, and I have seen that could take a total of 20 weeks. Another good reason to have a checking or savings account.

3. No.

Don't think of 'deadlines,' as bureaucracy needs TIME to straighten things out.

U.S. adult population:

18 years and over 209,128,094

[renate]

7. thanks so much for the reassurance!

I totally get how it wouldn't have been completed by now; it's actually understandable. It's a huge task. I just hadn't seen anything saying that they needed more time past the 15th; everything said the money should be there by the 15th.

5. Ditto

I got the same message you did. I filed in 2018, but have not filed my 2019 taxes yet; I wonder if they are doing 2019 filers first.
That or the system is just screwed up

[renate]

8. that's actually our situation too--thanks!

We haven't filed for 2019 yet either. Thanks!

[VMA131Marine]

12. I'm sure they have to run 2018 filers separate from 2019

After they have done the 2019 filers, they will have to go through the 2018 list and delete all the people from the 2019 list they already sent checks to to avoid double payments.

[renate]

13. thanks so much for your logic! that makes a lot of sense. I feel better!

Maybe I just didn't look hard enough at the articles I was reading to see whether there was a difference between 2019 filers and 2018 filers.

I hope your $ shows up soon!

[Ananda62]

17. Actually

I got the same message you got, and I filed my 2019 taxes. I got a refund in 2018 & owed in 2019. I used the same checking account for the 2018 refund and the 2019 debit. Still, when I checked the IRS tool today, it said the IRS didn’t have sufficient info for a direct deposit. I put in my bank info.

It looks like it will take several days before the stimulus payment hits my account.

Meanwhile, my son got his stimulus money two days ago. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[pnwest]

30. I have not filed 2019 but I did get my

deposit. I think there’s not a lot of rhyme or reason, like with tax refunds, they run these things in batches, and is likely pretty random. Luck of the draw if you made it into this week’s batch or not. I was rather surprised to see mine, didn’t figure I’d be so lucky to be in the first round to go out.

26. Hubby and I are both on SS and don't make enough to file taxes. What about us ????????????????

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

28. How do you get your SS?

This has been addressed dozens, possibly hundreds of times already. But if you get direct deposit for SS, you'll get direct deposit of the stimulus money.

[trueblue2007]

34. THANK YOU. I get direct deposit for SS

[drray23]

25. very likely. i filed for 2019 in february. got my check in my account saturday morning.nt.

[beveeheart]

31. I received mine today and haven't filed for 2019 yet.

Friends received theirs Monday. I think it's just taking a few days to send all of them.

[Hoyt]

6. Wait a week before worrying. Although, I get people really need it.

I got mine today, but some folks got it earlier. Good luck.

[renate]

9. I'm glad you got yours! Yay!

We'll just have to be patient!

[Doreen]

10. I did not get mine today either. I have been hearing and reading

that it would be either Wednesday or Thursday more than likely. It could also not be here until closer to the end of the month.

[renate]

11. I'm sorry to hear you didn't get yours

I hope yours shows up a lot sooner than the end of the month!

[Doreen]

15. Nah, I'll be fine.

I have kept my usual monthly budget so I am not losing out. I decided not to rely on it because I felt that if I allowed myself to do that it wouldn't show up and I would be screwed. I will rely on it when I see it in my account.

[Ohiogal]

14. We did not get ours either

Hope it will be here soon ....

[renate]

16. Good luck!

Hope it gets there soon!

[politicaljunkie41910]

33. We got ours today, Wednesday, $2400. Our friends were receiving them, beginning over the weekend.

I heard yesterday for the first time that there was a maximum on how much your earnings could be, and I thought we were toast. But when I checked our bank accounts this morning, it was there.

[Blue_true]

18. If you and your spouse make more than a certain combined amount, you may get it later, if at all.

I believe that at a combined income of $150,000+, you may not get any money.

[GemDigger]

19. They send it out numerically according to your SS#.

001, 002, 003 etc. So depending on what your first three digits are gives you some idea.

[renate]

21. I hadn't seen that anywhere! Great to know!

Every article I read said all the checks to people with direct deposit would be deposited by today. This is a great detail! Thanks!

[GemDigger]

22. According to this which is a long but informative article..

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/when-are-stimulus-checks-being-sent-out-how-to-keep-tabs-on-yours-2020-04-10

• The IRS plans to send the first wave of payments in the week starting April 13, according to an expected timeline from the House Ways and Means Committee.
The tax authority will transmit the payments via direct deposit, using the banking information it has on file for taxpayers’ 2018 or 2019 tax returns, the timetable said.
That first wave will include Social Security recipients who filed tax returns and included direct deposit information on their returns, according to the House Ways and Means’ estimated timeline.
• The second wave will go to Social Security recipients who did not file 2018 or 2019 returns and receive their benefits through direct deposit.
• In early May, the IRS will start mailing paper checks to households, at a rate of 5 million per week. The paper checks will first go to the households with the lowest adjusted gross incomes, and continue upwards.

It could take up to 20 weeks to mail out all those checks, according to the House Ways and Means’ timetable.

29. I don't think that's even remotely accurate.

My first three digits are 5XX, and I got my money deposited last night, before midnight.

[beveeheart]

32. I agree with you. My 1st 3 digits are 2XX.

Got mine today.

[Glimmer of Hope]

36. My first three digits are 5xx and I did not receive anything.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

37. I thought I'd read they'd be sending the checks out

to those with the lowest taxable incomes first. Mine is pretty low.

But they are definitely not sending out by first three digits of your SSN.

[itsrobert]

20. We are 0 for 4 here

Me and my wife = No $2400 deposit
Adult daughter = No $1200 deposit
Adult son = No $1200 deposit

[UncleNoel]

23. Socsec recipients, non-filers, in 2nt wave within 10days.

So I heard...

[Poiuyt]

24. I don't care about the money, I just want trump's autograph on the check!

Okay, I was just kidding.

[DeminPennswoods]

35. Nothing here either

Owed money for a few years now so no direct deposit info included on my returns, but my federal retirement is DD.

[Demsrule86]

38. did you check your status...it is an IRS website.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/14/politics/get-my-payment-stimulus-checks-irs/index.html This is no information ...good luck.
