Click the link to learn how to “get my payment” if you haven’t already. The section titled “Filers: Get Your Payment” on the left side of the page (the first section if using a mobile device) helps with information regarding checking payment status, confirming payment type, and how to enter bank account information to receive your stimulus via direct deposit. Here is a bit of information you can expect to read:
Update your bank account or mailing address
- If we don’t have your direct deposit information from your 2018 or 2019 return – and we haven’t yet sent your payment – use the Get My Payment application to let us know where to send your direct deposit.
- 2019 Filers: We will send your payment using the information you provided with your 2019 tax return. You will not be able to change it.
- 2018 Filers: If you need to change your account information or mailing address, file your 2019 taxes electronically as soon as possible. That is the only way to let us know your new information.
