Question

When the stimulus checks came in I did not get mine. They sent it to an inactive bank account. How can I receive that?

The 2nd ($600) and the 3rd one in March (1,400).  In my last year tax return I put in that I did not receive it and they took $600.

The process for the 3rd stimulus payment has changed.  You can report that you did not receive the payment and get the Recovery Rebate Credit, which is the same as the stimulus payment.  This credit is a refundable credit so even if you don't owe taxes you can receive this amount.  To claim the Recovery Rebate Credit please follow these steps:

  1. Open your tax return in TurboTax Online.
  2. Search for Recovery Rebate Credit using the magnifying glass near the top of the screen on the right.
  3. Click the Jump to recovery rebate credit link.
  4. Answer the question regarding the payment you did not receive. (Enter $0)

You need to have IRS put a trace on $600 check sent to inactive bank account. In their records you’ve already received it so that’s why the denied it. The $1400 stimulus should be filed on 2021 return .
