Question about direct deposit stimulus payment [View all]

I FINALLY was able to figure out why I didn't get a stimulus payment. Turns out that for some reason the IRS had the address as a PO Box that my ex-husband at the end of our marriage. It wasn't the address on our tax return, so it didn't make sense, but that's the address that worked with the "Get My Payment" thing.

Anyhow, I was able to finally put in my direct deposit information, and everything was accepted. My question is, for those of you who filed a joint return, did your stimulus payment get deposited as one deposit, or was it two separate deposits (one for each of you)?

I'm just hoping that my ex-husband's payment doesn't get deposited into my account. I've successfully gone for four months without talking to him, and I don't want to have to ever talk to him again.

As an attorney I can tell you the cost of the "advice" would be more than the stimulus payment. former9thward Oct 2020 #18

If the money shows up in your account, sending him a check would probably be the best option. Talitha Oct 2020 #21
