We had our tax refund direct deposited. According to the IRS web site, if you used direct deposit for your refund then your stimulus check will be direct deposited as well. It also states that May 16th was the last day for the direct deposit to hit. We never received ours. I have tried to locate a number to call but the only number I can find is automated. Does anyone have a phone number I can call? Thanks for any info.

Go to the website, click on Where's My Refund, then Where's My Stimulus Check.
How did I miss that you already checked the website?
Ours came thru on the 15th. We got a letter yesterday telling us it would.  Our tax dollars at work.
The phone number to call if you haven't received your check, but the website or letter said you should is 1-866-234-2942
If you didn't qualify and the website didn't tell you to expect a check when you input your SSN, then calling will be wasting everyone's time.
If the website says they deposited it already, then check with your bank.

Please tell me this was sarcasm.
Returning tax dollars to tax payers isn't "generosity". It's not "their" money! Why don't folks get this?!

O.K. I called the number and entered the appropriate information and was told "we are sorry but we are unable to provide any information". I know that we are eligible and I know that we received our tax refund via direct deposit. It really irritates me that I can't speak with someone. |

When you call the number, don't push the 1 or 2 option. Just stay on the line. Eventually a real person will answer. I have heard people say they have to hold for a 1/2 hour or more, but eventually get a person that can give you more information.
Also, if you used a tax preparer (i.e., TaxAct, TurboTax, HR Block, etc.) and had your preparation fees deducted from your refund, you will receive a paper check.

We used TurboTax. So I guess this means it isn't going to be direct deposit after all. Thanks for the tip! |
