Because the SS admin is not a part of the IRS.

[RonnG]

you probably don’t have a direct deposit on you tax refund

[nuconvert]

And you’re surprised?

[Yo-Yo]

If you used direct deposit for your IRS tax return, they use that account to deposit your Trump Bucks check. (I got mine yesterday.)

[ratzoe]

So...if you typically pay at tax time, you need to enter your bank info in the IRS portal, right???

[Gay State Conservative]

I get a SS check every month...direct deposited to my checking account. I’ve read that people like us don’t have to do anything...just wait.

[Souled_Out]

Same here. Paid taxes every working year of my life, served in Nam, paid small business taxes, but I do not exist for the IRSs check.

[ocrp1982]

I entered my and my wife’s info into their system and it came back with nothing. Issued a Statement, that there is no status for either of us at this time.

It’s da Gubmint!

[Daniel Ramsey]

I just go on living like there never was a stimulus check coming.

Check on the status of your Economic Impact Payment

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Check your bank account every day. My wife and I received our “stimulus” deposits today.

[DeFault User]

I use my bank account for tax refunds and payments. I also get social security. The stimulus check arrived in the account today.

[dforest]

If you have Social Security you will have it deposited into your account that way. Do you have Direct deposit?

[centurion316]

Apparently, you don’t want the government to run your life, until you do. And, the only way that the IRS could send your check to your checking account that you use for your SS check would be if the entire federal government knew everything about you and was micro managing your life. That’s the Democrat plan, so perhaps you want to switch.

The IRS will send you a check to your current address, to wit: the address that you used when you filed your tax return. Good luck.

Left hand, meet right hand. Right hand, I’m pleased to introduce left hand.

I suppose in some ways we should be grateful they don’t know what the hell they are doing. If they did, we might be a lot more like China.

[Tax-chick]

There might be useful information for you in this thread. If not, forget I mentioned it.

[Tennessee Conservative]

They are separate. I do my own taxes each year with TaxAct and entered my banking info the first time to get a direct deposit. Once the IRS has it they can send your payment. Ours was in the bank this morning. You will have to go to the site set up by the IRS and enter your bank routing number and account number.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Given the government inefficiencies does anyone really think the computers of the IRS can even talk to SS computers?

[beethovenfan]

Mnuchin said yesterday if you have SS direct deposited you don’t have to do anything. Guess he was wrong?
