Stimulus checks sent to wrong bank accounts for some Americans checking IRS 'Get My Payment' tool
Some Americans say their stimulus checks are being deposited in the wrong bank accounts this weekend, forcing many of them to wait longer for the badly needed aid after struggling financially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Those taxpayers were surprised to see that the last four digits of their bank account numbers were incorrect when they checked their payment status on the IRS website, an issue that happened during the first two rounds of direct payments when technical glitches from third-party tax preparers caused delays for many filers.
Some taxpayers are frustrated that they might have to wait for a paper check in the mail, while others still haven’t received a dime of their second payment that was supposed to arrive months ago.
The IRS didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment Sunday.

.... but there's nothing like the certainty of a check in hand. I ran into some problems with direct deposit on the first stimulus check, and they informed me the check would be sent to the address listed on my tax returns. I asked my wife if I should try and straighten out the direct deposit problems, and she looked at me, and said, "keep it simple stupid". She always gives me good advice.
