If you haven’t gotten your check yet, don’t worry. The IRS has a tool that you can use to track the status of your relief payment.
Here’s how you can track your $1,400 check
You can click here and use the IRS Get My Payment tool here.
When you put in your information, you’ll see the following payment statuses:
- A payment has been processed
- A payment date is available and payment is to be sent either by direct deposit or mail
- Note: mail means you may be issued an EIP Card or a check.
- You’re eligible, but a payment has not been processed and a payment date is not yet available
- You may also see ‘Payment Status Not Available,’ meaning the IRS has not yet processed your payment or you’re not eligible for a payment
- Another status you might see is ‘Need More Information,’ meaning your payment was returned to the IRS because the USPS was unable to deliver it
As a note, you will receive payments quicker if you’re set up for direct deposit with the IRS. Checks would likely be issued a few days later.
