Stimulus payment from May 2020

By Terry Savage on March 14, 2022 | Wild Card

My first stimulus payment was in check form. I thought I made a mobile deposit to my bank. Going over bank statements I find no credit. The check is dated 5/15/2020. Is there any way to contact IRS to determine if it was paid? It’s $1,200 and I could really use the money. Thank you.

You can claim it on Form 1133 as a lost payment. Read this IRS explanation. For sure, they will let you know if they think you cashed the check!
