So was I, with ease might I add.

I will not be looking for status. If/when it shows up it does. I think looking is like the day trader mentality, checking the stock market every hour. Status checking will not make the payment come any faster.

I just checked and it says I’m eligible. I didn’t do direct deposit and will wait for the check. I’m not going to I put my bank information.

You could wait months.

It says I'm eligible based on 2019 return. I tried 4X and it's still not allowing banking information to be updated.

The latest update from IRS seems to say that they are not allowing changes to old banking info.

See https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/treasur...mpact-payments where it says:

"Get My Payment cannot update bank account information after an Economic Impact Payment has been scheduled for delivery. To help protect against potential fraud, the tool also does not allow people to change bank account information already on file with the IRS"

Sadly they don't say what to expect to happen in a case like this. I would be guessing that the old bank will reject the deposit, resulting in a paper check later. I feel for those who also changed mailing address.

I did receive a refund this year and provided direct deposit. Yet, the "Get my payment" portal states they don't have this information on file. I asked a group of friends of mine who use accountants, and at least one accountant warned against giving the bank information. He suggested to wait for it in the mail.

It will arrive right before the election with a famous signature.

Still shows no information available

No info for me.

When would it be sent for those who have direct deposit info on file? Haven’t gotten anything yet.
