Another stimulus question: Anyone make installment payments to IRS?

[OneGrassRoot]

I make installment payments and have for years. I'm self-employed.

I therefore don't enter bank info when doing my return, but they do have my bank info on file somewhere because of the monthly payment I make via bank draft.

Still, I'm getting the proverbial message upon checking the website that they don't have enough info to tell if I'm eligible for the stimulus payment or not. I'm not even given the option to enter banking info. (I'm WAY eligible, btw.)

They clearly state on the site that even those who owe the IRS money will get this stimulus payment, but I'm wondering if we may be one of the last groups to be processed.

Anyone else in this situation?

1. Yes, we are in the same boat

I read yesterday that our checks should start hitting the mail by the end of April--will look for a link

Here is the planned weekly schedule for the IRS to mail stimulus checks based on annual adjusted gross income, as first reported by The Washington Post. All dates represent the “week ending” (for example, the week ending April 24) and the IRS could change this schedule at any time.

Less than $10,000: April 24
$10,001 - $20,000: May 1
$20,001 - $30,000: May 8
$30,001 - $40,000: May 15
$40,001 - $50,000: May 22
$50,001 - $60,000: May 29
$60,001 - $70,000: June 5
$70,001 - $80,000: June 12
$80,001 - $90,000: June 19
$90,001 - $100,000: June 26

2. Yes, try changing how you fill in the fields

I too am self employed, make quarterly payments, am eligible, and received the same response with each attempt.

By making these changes I get an affirmative response:

1. Enter SSN including hyphens - 999-99-9999
2. Enter DOB including slashes - 99/99/9999
3. Enter only line 1 of your address - 13 Mockingbird Ln (note - may require Ln or Lane, St or Street, Ave or Avenue, etc)
4. Enter 5 digit Zip

It may be because using keyboard shortcuts and manually typing in hyphens, slashes, and road types that searches using automated entries cannot find a match (just my opinion). Good luck.

4. Yeah, I tried all that.

I saw that it needs to be entered exactly as it shows on one's return (no Dr if it says Drive, for example).

I fear inevitably some of us are going to fall through the cracks with no way to remedy the situation. Continuing to get that message makes me fear I'm one of those who will be missed.

We shall see! Thanks.

5. We pay quarterly.

My husband is self employed, I have taxes deducted from my paycheck. We both get the same message.

I’ve also been laid off work for a month and have yet to see an unemployment check. It’s all pretty unsettling.

6. I'm so sorry...

I hope we all get some more information soon.
