Hello Freepers,
Just curious if anyone is experiencing the same issue as me.
April 15th, entered my Direct Deposit information and I get the following message for the past week with no update.
You are eligible for the payment. Once we have the payment date, we will update this page.
We will deposit the payment in the account below. Bank Account ********XXXX
Updates to your payment are made no more than once a day. We will mail you a letter with additional information on additional information.
My status has not changed. I just hope the 50 year old computer system didn't put my status in limbo somewhere.
Tell me about it. Filed already, they took the tax payment we owed in a flash, but still no Wuhanic Plague check. Interesting.
Same here. Due bank deposit stimulus but no “when”.
I registered my bank account for direct deposit within hours of the IRS opening its website. Their response is that my check will be mailed in a few days. That’s the government for you.
Right... I know.
Thank God, I really don’t need the money. I am not rich by any means, but when I hear stories of dead folks and teenagers in receipt of this money, my blood starts to percolate.
Where are you entering direct deposit information? Is there a web page? Our SS checks are direct deposited, so I assume we’ll see $2400? (that will promptly go to the grand kids)
I did too, yet I still have not received a payment date or any update.
Nada.
I heard folks receiving SS checks do not have to do anything unless they have dependents they want to claim.
I filed my 2018 return on time last year, have delayed my 2019 filing for a month. Got my SS direct deposit on time as usual but no stimulus money came in. same bank account for 17 years, time will tell????
SS recipients will have ttheir direct deposit $1200 by the end of April.
“I registered my bank account for direct deposit within hours of the IRS opening its website. Their response is that my check will be mailed in a few days. That’s the government for you.”
the IRS is trying to avoid scammers who try to steal other people’s money, so they want to use addresses and direct deposit information that has been in their system for a while. So they are going to mail a bunch of payments instead of relying on recently entered direct deposit information.
I’m in Japan and get direct deposit SS for my wife and I . I’ve read that expats will receive some money but can’t confirm . Weeks ago contacted American Embassy in Japan , SS and IRS but no answers . Goobermint at work ( not ) .
I get the same message....no date for payment yet.

...
They’ve been using my bank account to receive payments from me for years.
Why bother letting people register if they aren’t going to use it?
Government is terrible at doing things right.
I understand that if you e-filed with Turbo Tax or H&R Block online there is a glich that is holding up these checks (that is my case).
If you are on SS and have not filed a tax return in the past two years you will likely not get your $1200 til the end of April.
Thanks for your reply.
I think their computers were swamped and we will mailed paper checks before the end of the year.
Sigh.

This makes sense.
I wish they would have stated as such...
But I still have yet to receive a Mail Date.
Me Too.Tell me about it. Filed already, they took the tax payment we owed in a flash, but still no stimulus check. They owe me and wife $2400 IMHO.
I won’t give the IRS my banking information simply for the reason they could decide that I owed them money. Yes, it happens.
Went online to see the status of my check and it says UNDETERMINED.
