What is stimulus check?

A stimulus check is a check sent to a taxpayer by the U.S. government. Stimulus checks are intended to stimulate the economy by providing consumers with some spending money. When taxpayers spend this money, it boosts consumption and drives revenues at retailers and manufacturers and thus spurs the economy.

What disqualifies you from the stimulus check?

If you can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return (whether or not you’re actually claimed as a dependent), you won’t receive a stimulus check. Other dependents won’t receive stimulus payments, either. For example, an elderly parent living with an adult child is out of luck and won’t get a check.

Does the IRS have my direct deposit info if I use TurboTax?

Yes, when you file with TurboTax and select direct deposit your banking information and address on your tax return is provided to the IRS.

Will I get a stimulus check if I filed a paper return?

You just won’t get the money until next year. You filed a paper return for 2019 and it wasn’t processed until after the IRS used your 2018 return to calculate your stimulus payment. If you can’t cash the check, send it back to the IRS and the money will be credited to your tax account, the agency said.

Will I get my refund and stimulus check at the same time?

Your stimulus payment will be delivered the same way your refund was, either by direct deposit or by mail. If you chose to have your refund directly deposited into your bank account, you can see your banking information in your TaxSlayer account under Transaction History.

What website do I go to for a stimulus check?

But if you’re still waiting to get paid, the IRS has an online tool that lets you check the status of your stimulus check. It’s called the “Get My Payment” portal, and you can find it on the IRS website at irs.gov/coronavirus/get-my-payment. (To find out how much money you will get, use our Stimulus Check Calculator.)
