Older Stimulus check
Where do I file for the 600.00 Stimulus
Check on my tax returns.
Terry Says
Did you file a 2020 tax return a few months ago? You should have done that to request the original $600. But if you file for 2021 next April, you can still request that refundable “credit” of $600.
First, though –did you look online to see if it was mailed or direct deposited. I’d start there, because there’s a possibility it was lost. Here’s how to do that:
Go to the IRS.gov “Get My Payment” tool. It will show whether a payment has been issued. If you had entered direct deposit information, give at least 5 business days for the money to land in your account. And if it didn’t arrive in your account, check first with your bank.
If the check was mailed to you, give it at least four weeks from the date of issuance to arrive at your home.
Still missing your stimulus check, and it shows issued in one form or another? Then, you can either call 800-919-9835 or download Form 3911 and mail or fax, as indicated, to start a payment trace. Be sure to follow the instructions for modifying the entries, as the normal use of this form is for a lost, stolen or undelivered tax refund. In this case, you are searching out a missing stimulus check.
