Stimulus check

By Terry Savage on August 08, 2021 | Wild Card

Hello Terry, I am on SSI and I don’t file taxes because of my low income. I received my first and second economic checks. But I never received my third check. No one has an answer for me. So I went online to Turbo tax last week and filed tax for 2020. I always receive my economic checks by Direct Deposit. Can you PLEASE HELP ME. Many thanks

If you’re still missing that a$1400 check sent out earlier this year, you should first look at the IRS.gov “Get My Payment” tool. It will show whether a payment has been issued.
Still missing your stimulus check, and the tool 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.

And if you still dont’ get it, then next year when you file your 2021 tax return in April of 2022, you can claim it as a refundable credit by including your direct deposit info on that tax return.
