Question

I did my taxes early January through Turbo Tax and received my refund. I was eligible for a stimulus and still nothing. What do I need to do to get traction?

I was told that people who used turbo tax was having a hard time getting a stimulus. I feel like Turbo tax needs to step in.

The IRS can look at your 2018 or 2019 return to issue a stimulus check.  If they do not have a 2018 return then you may be waiting for them to finish processing 2019 before they will be able to use it to issue your stimulus check.

 

 

TurboTax has no control over your stimulus check, nor can TT track it for you or tell you when the IRS will issue it. Refer to the sites linked below:

You can call the IRS hotline at 1-800-919-9835 to get updates on your stimulus payment.

if you e-Filed and got a refund and your address is unchanged, and you did not get the stimulus,

you are probably not eligible for that.

If you did not get the ADVANCE on the 2020 credit in 2019 then you will be able to apply for it on the 2020 return you file next year.
