If Your Stimulus Went To The Wrong Account

So what should you do if your stimulus check went to a mysterious account number.

If your stimulus went to the wrong account. Unfortunately especially with many irs offices closed there s little individuals can do except wait. The irs get my payment website may display an account number you don t recognize. Check your 2019 return to confirm.

Say your account on file with the irs is still active but it s not your preferred account because you owe fees or it s so old that you forgot your password. Check your 2019 return to confirm. Bank account no longer active.

For me my first check went to my bank account and the second shows an account i do not know another said the stimulus appeared in his bank account but disappeared somehow. If you took a refund transfer it may be reflecting that account number. When a stimulus check goes to the wrong bank account say your account on file with the irs is still active but it s not your preferred account because you owe fees or it s so old that.

The irs get my payment website may display an account number you don t recognize. Payment sent to wrong account. The irs and the treasury department began issuing the economic impact payments last week.

If the bank account that your stimulus payment is sent to is closed or no longer active the financial institution is required to reject the deposit and return the money to the irs. The irs has not confirmed how many stimulus payments went to closed or invalid accounts but the agency has admitted that some checks went to the wrong destinations because of the speed at. Unfortunately there s little you can do if the irs has already begun processing your stimulus payment.
