What is the site url to insure they're mailing the stimulus check?

My husband tried an irs site and they said to try back later because they claimed our phone number was too recent. We have those numbers for several years. Just wanted to make sure we didn't accidentally tap into a mirror site.

1. Go to IRS.gov and there is a link to "Get My Payment"

Or https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/get-my-payment

3. csziggy posted the one I just used earlier today ... seems to work fine

Although I haven't gotten the $ or anything, everything went smoothly.

There is no phone number request in the process. Not that I recall anyways

As mentioned elsewhere, don't put dashes in your SSN. And use the exact address that's on your tax form, right down to using ST instead of St. or Street, for example.

I e-filed my 2019 taxes on the 15th so I first put in my income and tax amount for 2019 ... and it appeared that those were the numbers it was expecting to see (dunno if the 2018 ones would've worked or not). So its pretty up-to-date.

Good luck

5. We're not direct filers. We have to make an account first.

6. Don't think so, cause I'm not DD either and I didn't make any account.

And ttbomk I never have.

I just clicked 'Get My Payment' using the above link, and followed the steps, and it all worked.

YMMV, maybe I made an account years ago and forgot?

But I'm 100% sure I've never done DD with the IRS ... or rather, at least never in the last 20-some years.

7. This is freaking me out a bit, because he said he never had a chance to access

"Get My Payment." They wanted him to make an account first.

10. Well, I am a filer, every year, and have filed 2018 and 2019 so ...

Maybe he hasn't so has to do it differently?

11. That's what he says.

We do mail in filings. Not direct deposit. So he says that the site requires him to set up a digital account.

Hey, we're old school. It not until this week that we're cleaning out the VHS's and he tossed out my buns and abs of steel tapes.
