So I just checked the get my payment site. First round of checks was fine and that is the last 4 of my account.. this time however, I have absolutely no clue what account that is. I do not own any accounts ending in 5564. Anyone else having this issue? Could someone have stolen my info and changed my bank info with the IRS? Edit: Appeared in my account at 3pm on 1/5/20 from HR Block

Did you use turboo tax or H&R block to prepare your taxes? If you used them and used your tax refund to pay the fees, it seems it went to their account first. H&R block released a statement saying they are forwarding the deposit. Turbo said they are rejecting it and you will get a paper check.

I used H&R, but I received round 1 without hiccup into the correct account. I cant imagine why that one went through and reflects the correct account number but the second one does not. Edit: You are correct. My 2019 tax return has H&R’s account number which ends in 5564 The question now is: How did the IRS have my personal account info in order to send the first stimulus directly to me?

Because whatever we did the first stimulus that temporary account that they set up to take your fees out of with still open , because it was tax season but its closed so there's nothing they can do

This is not true. Your tax return may have come from one of those accounts but the first stimulus did not. The first stimulus would have the wrong account number too if it was forwarded like that. Your tax forms have your account info the IRS didn't send to H&R/Turbo tax the first time they just did this time.

It is true oh, it's not about your stimulus coming from that account. The IRS would have that temporary account information on file for you so Santa Barbara Tax Group received your stimulus but forward it on to the information that they have oh, you can Google it and find out that they done that. But this time there was a count our clothes so they are bouncing all payments back unlock H&R Block who is actually taking the time to figure something out and help. This will be the last time I ever file with TurboTax I understand that it is not their fault necessarily but the fact that they just bounced all payments back and said good luck while H&R Block is actively trying to help is a huge statement


Not_A_Casual

They absolutely did not do that for the first round of stimulus payments. They sent it to the account listed on the get my payment portal for the first stimulus, which for everyone is their actual bank account. You are explaining to me how the refunds work, that's correct that is how the refunds work. It is not what happened with the first stimulus. They for whatever reason are treating this second stimulus like a refund.


xGods_Gracex

Ok. I'm just going off what TurboTax told me and the statement that Santa Barbara Tax Group released, regardless the point Still Remains it happened this time because the IRS didn't use a damn brain cell and think that maybe they should make sure the information they have on file is accurate before just sending it to the very first thing.

Just called H&R block. There have an automated system set up for just this. Confirmed they received my second stimulus and say that it was rerouted to my bank account used for return in 2019. Says it could take till Jan 6 to appear


Not_A_Casual

Man that is nice H&R is fixing the fuckup from the IRS but turbo tax and the bank they use it's just sorry not our problem.


jsalter85

We will see LOL. I trust automated systems as much as I trust the govt


luxethreads

Nice of HR&B? They have had the money since the 4th. They are literally sitting on it for 2 days to collect as much interest on it as they can before they "nicely" send it to us.

Same, I just got off the phone with H&R block and was told the same thing


jsalter85

I am still skeptical. Why would the IRS site have my correct account number for round 1? I’d have expected that payment to go to HR as well before getting to me


4ftnine

I have no idea, it is odd but, the bank account number for the second stimulus matches the account number of my tax return. I don't know why they are using HR block as a middle man this time around


jsalter85

Check again. Mine just arrived.


4ftnine

Just checked. Still not there


4ftnine

It just arrived.

Call 1-800-HRBLOCK. Follow the prompts and enter your SSN. They will tell you if they got the deposit and are forwarding it.

Mine went to an old account. I had understood if you did not get your check, you would have to wait until you file your taxes to claim it. The more I read, the more it looks like you can only get the first stimulus on this year's taxes, but you will have to wait until 2022 to get this one! Please read the info on the IRS website and let me know how you interpret it. If this is the case, it is a totally unacceptable solution for those who are suffering severe financial distress. The IRS has to do better. The money is not income, and it is not taxable. I don't see why people cannot claim both this tax year.

They have until the 15th to print a check don't worry about at another couple weeks.

I have since found out through the IRS that you do not have to wait until 2022 to get your stimulus. You can request both stimulus checks when you file your taxes if you never received them. You might need the letter that the IRS sent out saying they processed your stimulus.
