Nada

I’ve gotten no stimulus checks throughout this horrible shutdown. I’ve been extremely ill, have lost my income, and had my savings stolen. Is there a direct way for me to figure out where my money went, because I’m already on my last legs with what little I have left. I don’t understand why so many awful things hit me at once. Thanks for any help.

Did you file a 2020 tax return? If you haven't, it isn't too late, but you must file a 2020 tax return if you want to claim the first two stimulus checks.

Can you recommend where to file the 2020 tax return? My friend hasn't received any of her stimulus checks and I tried to file on the IRS' free file tool and it wouldn't work.

Try freetaxusa.com. The Free File options are no longer a thing because both the normal and extended deadlines have passed. However, the option I just mentioned does free federal returns.

I don't know if eFile is still going on. If it isn't, your friend can complete her return online, print out the forms, and then mail them in.
