My Stimulus Check Was Sent To A Closed Account What Do I Do

The latest round of 600 stimulus checks is on the way but for people who either changed their bank account information or moved recently the next payment may be delayed.

My stimulus check was sent to a closed account what do i do. The irs said checks sent to closed or inactive accounts can t by law be held by the financial institutions and redirected to consumers. The internal revenue service sent millions of americans stimulus checks to the wrong bank accounts tax preparers say a mistake the feds are now trying to fix. When your stimulus lands in a closed account the fact that americans are receiving stimulus cash via direct deposit is a good thing it means they get their money sooner.

If that account has been closed the bank must return it to the irs. In an answer to a customer on a faq page about the latest checks a turbotax representative explained that if a person s bank information is incorrect or the account has been closed the bank. It is very unlikely that your stimulus check will have been sent to someone else s back account but if you have a feeling that might have happened contact the irs directly through the irs2go.

The agency inadvertently.
