Get your stimulus check payment

[ClonesTwenty1]

Those of you saying you are adding your bank account info, are you using the Get My Payment app (as opposed to the website)?

I used website. Will check it tomorrow and see if they have a date set for the deposit.

 

[cycloneworld]

That seems to be the common theme. Which is fine-- I suppose they don't have my direct deposit information. What was troublesome is the "cannot determine your eligibility" language, which would seem to indicate they don't have the information they need to determine if you are entitled to a refund, which should not be the case.

I think we are in the same spot? Filed 2018 (owed money) but haven't filed 2019 yet - sounds like those are the people getting "cannot determine your eligibility"?

 

[NorthCyd]

I just get the "cannot determine your eligibilty status" and that's it. I didn't see an option to input more information.

Hmmm... can't help you there. That wasn't my experience. Not surprisingly it seems they are encountering problems. There must be something about some peoples taxes that are getting them flagged.

 

[aeroclone]

Correct. This is all based on 2018 returns because not everyone has filed 2019. They aren't going to use 2018 for some and 2019 for some. They're using 2018 for everyone.

This is not right. My payment included $500 for a kid who didn't exist in 2018. They should be using 2019 if you have filed. They will fall back to 2018 if you haven't.

Yep--filed and owed 2018, have not yet filed my 2019. If it's just a matter of getting my bank account information on file, fine. But the "cannot determine your eligibility" is where I'm confused. I'm eligible based on the guidance they put out.

Based on my annual taxes paid in, I think I funded about half of the people on this thread!

Sounds like you need a better accountant.

I thought that, too. However, the wife and I 1099, W2 says otherwise.

 

[IcSyU]

Just for kicks I checked the status for my wife and me...I'm another cannot determine eligibility. Balance due in 2018. Refund in 2019 that I haven't filed yet. Oops.

If you are letting it get to the 1099 and W2, you are too late.

Can't even login to my bank account lol

My stimulus was deposited in my bank account this morning. E-filed with TurboTax the last few years and have had direct deposit returns.

My money is going towards a new fence, so at least it will stay local.

I also noticed several bank websites that weren't working well today...

Here’s the timetable for the first mailed checks, per IRS documents seen by the Post:

• Taxpayers with income up to $10,000: April 24
  
  
• Taxpayers with income up to $20,000: May 1
  
  
• Taxpayers with income up to $40,000: May 15

The rest of the checks will be issued by gradually increasing income increments each week. Households earning $198,000 who file jointly will get their reduced checks on Sept. 4. The last group of checks will be sent on Sept. 11 to those who didn’t have tax information on file and had to apply for checks, according to the Washington Post.

I don't think this is right. I know multiple people who have gotten their money and they make are making around 50k-70k a year.

 

[Farnsworth]

I can't find this answer online, maybe someone here knows.

if you did direct deposit for refunds the past few years (I did through turbo tax) and that account has since been closed, what are they going to do? I feel like the government would drag their feet on sending it to you once they realize it's not a valid account.

Paper checks not direct deposit

Tried to look on IRS website, typed my social security number in twice said it doesn't match. I exceeded my number of tries (2) try back in 24 hours

I'm also locked out for 24 hours. I got past the SSN screen but had issues when I had to enter my 2019 return and bank information. Said I'm eligible, but my "information entered didn't match their records."

 

[CloneLawman]

Yep--filed and owed 2018, have not yet filed my 2019. If it's just a matter of getting my bank account information on file, fine. But the "cannot determine your eligibility" is where I'm confused. I'm eligible based on the guidance they put out.

I'm in a similar position. My wife and I are in the phase-out range and will received reduced payments, but we are still entitled to something. I have a number of clients getting that "cannot determine your eligibility" message as well who are not in the phase-out range and who filed both 2018 and 2019 returns and clearly qualify.

Just called the bank, mine is deposited

 

[Clonefan32]

I'm just going to check back Friday and hope for the best. What a mess.

Do you not claim your 18 year old?

Yep, we claimed him.
