How to track my stimulus check in the mail

Here are some ways to track your stimulus check in the mail:

  1. Check the IRS Website: The IRS has a "Get My Payment" tool on their website that allows you to track the status of your stimulus check. You'll need to enter your Social Security number, date of birth, and zip code to access the tool.
  2. Use the USPS Informed Delivery: The United States Postal Service (USPS) offers a free service called Informed Delivery, which allows you to track your mail, including stimulus checks, before they arrive at your doorstep. You can sign up for the service on the USPS website.
  3. Check Your Bank Account: If you have direct deposit set up with the IRS, you may be able to track the status of your stimulus check in your bank account. Check your account online or through the bank's mobile app to see if the funds have been deposited.
  4. Contact the IRS: If you're unable to track your stimulus check through the IRS website or USPS, you can contact the IRS directly to inquire about the status of your check. You can call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 or visit your local IRS office.
  5. Check Your Mail: If you're still waiting for your stimulus check, check your mail regularly to see if it has arrived. Stimulus checks are typically mailed in a plain white envelope with a return address from the US Treasury Department.
  6. Use a Package Tracking App: Apps like TrackR or Tile allow you to track packages, including stimulus checks, using the tracking number on the package.
  7. Check with Your Local Post Office: If you're concerned that your stimulus check may have been lost or stolen, you can contact your local post office to see if they have any information about the status of your check.

Remember to keep an eye on your mail and bank accounts to ensure that your stimulus check is received safely and securely.
