IRS Launches Tool To Check Stimulus Payment Status

Stimulus checks are beginning to arrive in your bank account, and many more Americans than usual are logging into their online bank accounts to see if their check arrived. That's causing some online banking systems to be overloaded.

Another way to track the status of your stimulus check is to use the IRS website's tracking tool “Get My Payment” The new tool will let you know when you can expect to receive your payment, and if the IRS needs more information from you.  You can also change or add your bank account information. 

As a reminder, the IRS is not contacting citizens for personal or bank account information.  Phone calls, texts, and mail asking for this information are scams.
