Question about changing direct deposit info for next stimulus

[mvd]

I got my first stimulus by direct deposit. But I closed that account and the second stimulus had to be mailed. I don’t want to be mailed the probable third stimulus. But none of the free online tax sites I have been to have a place for direct deposit if you don’t have any income or credits/rebates. I don’t want to count on the IRS to open up Get My Payment to changes. So does anyone have ideas for me?

1. Where do you deposit the paper check ?

2. My second stimulus came by check, and..

I deposited that into my TD Bank account. But the IRS has the old Citizens Bank info.

3. Isn't there a way where you can just change whatever info they have with the new info ?

[mvd]

4. Unfortunately the IRS hasn't allowed any changes

They might in the future with the Democrats in charge, but that is not a given. I tried to file taxes but ran into the roadblock described.

9. It's a security measure

Unless you file a tax return with a refund due and provide your new banking information, you're SOL. You're just going to have to wait for the check. Sorry, but there are just too many thrives out there.

11. Should be able to let you change with the right credentials

You can get your transcript or PIN number that way. I have always thought that. Anyway, I haven’t seen any tax sites that allow it for my situation.

13. I got the 1200 but not the 600

So when I did my taxes for 2020, I got the 600 bucks deducted from total owed. Felt awesome. I may have to wait til 2022 to do my 2021 taxes to get the 1400 (if we truly get it) deducted. I’m cool with how ever the Government deems me getting it. One way or the other, you’ll get it. That you should never worry about.

5. Oh, dear. Since you've closed the one account, I have a feeling

you are simply simply out of luck. You may just have to get a mailed check.

This makes me feel fortunate that my life has been such that I've had the same checking account for 13 years now, and I have the joy of filing a return every year. So the IRS has my bank account, and I got the first two stimulus checks in the very first round of them. Lucky me.

6. Maybe with the outreach the Democrats want..

the IRS will change their mind. Really hoping if there are no other ideas.

7. That's a consumation devoutly to be wished,

to quote Hamlet. I think it was Hamlet.

8. Don't remember that line. But you gave me something to look up

It’s part of Hamlet’s “To be, or not to be” soliloquy.

10. File your taxes this weekend

Use your current bank information for your refund.

[mvd]

12. Hi, I have no refund or credit due

Is there still a place?

15. I'm unsure in that instance

I work in the financial sector. We won’t receive information until everything is finalized. Since I don’t know the specifics of the bill, I can’t definitively say.
