Are stimulus checks coming by mail
The stimulus checks!
According to the IRS, the majority of stimulus checks will be direct deposited into bank accounts, but some people may receive their checks by mail. Here's what you need to know:
Direct Deposit: The IRS will use direct deposit to send stimulus checks to eligible individuals who have filed their tax returns electronically and provided their bank account information. This is the fastest and most convenient way to receive the stimulus payment.
Paper Checks: If you're not eligible for direct deposit or if the IRS doesn't have your bank account information, you may receive a paper check by mail. This could take a few weeks longer to arrive.
How to Check Your Status: You can check the status of your stimulus check on the IRS's "Get My Payment" tool on their website. This tool will show you if your payment has been sent and if it was sent by direct deposit or mail.
When to Expect Your Check: The IRS has been sending out stimulus checks since mid-April, and they will continue to send them out until the end of August. If you're eligible for a stimulus check, you should receive it by the end of August.
Tips:
- Make sure your address is up to date with the IRS to ensure you receive your stimulus check by mail.
- If you're not eligible for direct deposit, you can update your bank account information with the IRS to receive your stimulus check electronically.
- If you're concerned about not receiving your stimulus check, you can contact the IRS or check the "Get My Payment" tool on their website.
Remember, the stimulus checks are intended to help individuals and families affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask!
