Information about Economic Impact (or Stimulus Check) Payments
For most people, no action is needed to get an Economic Impact Payment from the IRS. As the Economic Impact Payments are being distributed by the IRS into accounts, you can visit their website to:
- Check your payment status
- Confirm your payment type (direct deposit or check)
- Enter your bank account information for direct deposit into your account
NOTE: Due to high demand, the IRS is warning of increased wait times to access the site. Data is updated once per day overnight, so there’s no need to check back more than once per day.
