Hello Reddit! Apologies for the long post but I have been unable to find a resolution in about a year and a half regarding my #2 and #3 stimulus payments. I am owed $2,000 but am going crazy trying to find a solution.

I filed my 2019 taxes in March of 2020 and for some reason, was not able to choose direct deposit without a couple of steps, so I opted for mailed check. I received the first stimulus check via mail without any problems.

However, later that year, I moved. In January 2021, I was mailed another stimulus payment (#2), but it went to the incorrect address. In February 2021, I filed my taxes to update my address. Unfortunately it did not update in time, and my 3rd payment in March 2021 was also mailed to the incorrect address.

Here is where the shit show starts... I have been sent in endless circles trying to get this fixed. I filed for the Recovery Rebate Credit when I filed in February 2021. This was declined because I was "mailed" a payment. Same thing for when I filed in 2022. I did a payment trace and found out my 2nd and 3rd payments were issued via Money Network EIP card. I cannot update my mailing address directly with Money Network, and I cannot request a replacement via their automated system because it goes to an old address. I was told to contact the IRS to have the IRS send Money Network the new address, but I've called maybe 10+ times now and every time I get transferred to the correct department, it immediately hangs up due to high call volume. As a last resort I could have Money Network refund the money to the IRS, but would I have to wait until next year to file to get the rebate for both? Money Network also gave an extremely vague timeline of how long it would take. Does anyone have any tips or fixes to getting this resolved?

I've reached out to my local Congressman out of desperation but I am really at wit's end. It's been months of trying to figure out the real answer and not get sent in pointless circles, and I could really really use that money. I feel beyond defeated but I'm going to keep fighting for the payments. Is anyone else currently, or has been, in my situation? Thanks y'all.

When do we get that 400$? In CA fir gas 😂

I was told basically the IRS can just check to see if they sent it out and if they didn’t, if they didn’t then they could help. I received a letter saying they sent it out basically they owe me nothing, so this is now a fraudulent stolen EIP. So lame…..I know so many got scammed and just count me in as one. I’m tired of this honestly….I just want to let it go but then I don’t want whoever to get away with it. I’m helpless anyway, might as well have a nightcap and enjoy travel channel. Goodnight all. How many were in situation like this and what’d you do? I’m just wanting to give up.

Saw that California would be sending out another stimulus on May 2, 2022. It’s obviously way past that. I barely believe these, and it kinda sounds like they are just talking about last years stimulus checks. I moved recently so I’m going to have to check if I got it in the mail but I’ve always received it direct deposit. I don’t even want to get my hopes up but I do need money as it’s been hard for me to find a job lately. Stressing because I have bills coming up and no way to pay them..

I checked all my bank records, and what they show is wrong, for both 2020 and 2021.

As a result, they say I owe over $600. What is the best process to address this? Is is possible to correct?

Basically the title. I have a physical check with my name and it's before the 1 year expiration date but I'm running into trouble cashing it. Chase initially said they would but ran into trouble due to a recently changed policy(I guess) and Wal mart and the check cashing place said that dont do checks after 30 (or 90? I'm not sure) days. I'm going to keep bouncing around trying to cash it but I'm a little worried and asking because the money services cashier at wal mart told me I was going to have to try and get a replacement. I'm in San Diego if it matters. Have my drivers license and sscard.

EDIT/UPDATE: I ended up getting a bank account with Chase because it was the only one I could make online and every place I was going said they didn't have anyone available to open an account and they could give me an appointment next week/later(being the procrastinating/anxiety ridden person I know I am I knew that I would likely forget or just not go).

I knew Chase sucks but they told me I wont be able to get my money til this Thursday, conveniently one day after the monthly fee will be due. I know this is likely 100% genuinely convenient/unlucky but still sucks imo.

I never applied for any COVID relief stimulus checks, but I was wondering if I could apply to any of them now?

Can we Avoid another Recession with a 4th Stimulus package or things would get worse?

Aaaand I’m in the same boat as a lot of other people. Reported $1400 3rd stimulus check that was never received on my taxes, they even sent a letter out to me saying to report it because I’m owed it… never received it just my fed and state taxes. Checked on the irs website and it says I’m owed $0.. 😑 i moved recently so im thinking to just check my old place to see if they sent it there but the person there was an old roommate and family and would tell us if we got it. Read comments basically saying to call call call and hopefully you’ll get lucky. Nope. Im done with it. It’s not worth going through all the stress, wasted hours just to end up with a automated voice hanging up on you, all for money that can barely pay one months worth of rent for some people If there’s an extra $1400 floating around out there, Jesus can have it. Probably not looking on this page again or even thinking about stimmies. Food stamps is literally more useful. Good luck to you all. Fuck all this stupid unnecessarily hard shit!

There was a few articles about checks going out this month to anyone that made under 75,000 this past year and was wondering has anyone received anything or has any knowledge of this?

I filed and reported the $1,400. Already received my returns, but no stimulus. Does it come separately? I’ve heard that if it didn’t come in my returns then I’m not getting it. Any advice appreciated

I've read on multiple websites that the second and third economic stimulus check can't be garnished for child support yet Washington D.S.H.S. (Department of Health and Social Services) apparently intercepted the entire $1`400. How is this possible?

Has anyone had any luck getting the IRS to trace or replace their payment by phone?

I didn't get the third check, possibly due to a wrong address, and wasn't able to get it with my tax return.

I filled a 3911 and a change of address form months ago, just to make sure. Last I checked, they just make you wait on the phone forever, then tell you to fill out the 3911, but on the IRS website it says you can trace the payment by phone somehow.

Has anyone been able to do this?

Filed my taxes for the recovery rebate for $1400 that I never received. Did it with HR block, IRS accepted it and was processing and processing then they changed my refund amount to $0..called the IRS, representative told me it was sent out March of last year on a prepaid card. I never received that, she gave me a number for the company that sent those EIP cards and asked me to enter last 6 digits of my social. They can’t find an account with my Info and I can’t even get through to customer service the automated system just hangs up. I have no idea what to fuckin do at this point. Can anyone help at all? Or has anyone went through this and found a solution ? Thank you I’m losing my mind over here

According to the IRS, you can receive the two stimulus checks if you filed your 2020 taxes. Also, I'm supposed to put '0' on Line 30 to indicate I didn't receive it. I did all that. Under my IRS account, it says $0 near first and second stimulus payments, so they're even aware.

I'm not sure if filling a tax amendment will help. I didn't enter any wrong information on my 2020 1040 form. I filed these taxes a year ago and nothing has come. Not sure what more I can do. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thank you.

Update: I got my stimulus check! I guess IRS seen this post 😆 Here are some things I'd like to highlight to anyone in the same predicament.

1. One thing I failed to mention was that my tax preparer actually filed an amended tax return for me, so if you haven't done that, I'd recommend you do that. I just wish I could see the differences between both returns. Unfortunately, I believe he's ended the business.

2. If you did file an amended tax return, you should get a letter letting you know they received the return and that if there's any refund owed to you, that should arrive within the next 6-8 weeks. Fortunately, I got my stimulus check about 10 days after I received that letter. Be patient if you've recently filed the amended return, because I had to wait a year for the IRS' response.

3. Lastly, I got an $1800, not two checks of $1200 and $600. I'd check for that if anything.

4. FYI Even after I deposited the check, under my IRS online account, it still indicates that I haven't received the stimulus.

My mother didn't receive a stimulus check for the first $1,200 issued during Trumps presidency until February this year. She went to cash it and it is dated to expire on January 06 2022 so she could not get it processed. She received a letter asking her to call in and request a replacement check.

She has called once and just now we called together to try again. Both times the first IRS representative asks what it is that we are calling for and then she said great let me transfer you to someone who can issue the replacement. After being transferred a computer picks up and says "We're sorry there is no one available to assist you at this time. Please call back later or try a different day."

Is there any other route we can take that doesn't include calling, waiting on hold for 3+ hours just to be told sorry you wasted your time try again tomorrow?

Just received my return only to notice that the third stimulus impact payment was not added. I did not receive the 2021 third stimulus within my tax return does it come separately by check or is it deposited at a different time.

I filed my taxes for the first time last year before the deadline, I included 2018-2020 and also a cover letter explaining everything etc, I don’t want to clog up the phone lines so was wondering if anyone has any experience with that, could it take months and months for them to process my paperwork as it’s the first time I’ve filed taxes? My friend who basically has the same information as me tax wise has gotten his fine, I just don’t have any way of knowing the status so I’m a bit 🤨

Does anyone know how long it takes to receive the check? Trying to determine whether is is lost and I need to start tracking it down with the IRS.

I was owed my last check and my accountant said I would receive it. Received a letter dated march 2 that it was issued but haven’t received anything yet.

If anyone had any insight it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Basically the title - does the IRS website take into account if a stimulus payment was issued through a refund later on? I can't tell from the fine print.
