    According to the IRS, if you receive a Payment Status #2, you will not receive a second Economic Impact Payment in the mail or by direct deposit.  Instead you need to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2020 Tax Return. The reason is due to the speed at which the second payments were issued.  Some stimulus payments may have been sent to an account that may be closed or no longer active or unfamiliar.  

     

    In the TurboTax Online program,  

    • After sign in to your account, follow prompts
    • To your left, select Federal
    • On the next screen, from the top, select Other Tax Situations and Done with Others (at the bottom)
    • On the screen, Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount, select Continue
    • Select "Yes", enter the amount you have received for both stimulus payments and follow prompts
