Track Your Stimulus Payment

The Get My Payment tool is live for the $1400 Stimulus.

If you have not received your stimulus payment, you can use the IRS’s Get My Payment tool to obtain more information. Similar to the other two rounds of stimulus payment, you’ll be able to use the tool to track when your payment will arrive in your bank account.

To track the status of your payment, you will need to provide four pieces of information. First, you’ll need to provide your Social Security Number (SSN). If you don’t have that number, you can also use the Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN).

Next, you’ll need to provide your date of birth. The next two steps require your street address and zip code. After you’ve completed all required fields, you’ll see a screen with your payment status. This screen will notify you when your payment will be deposited and the bank account that it will be sent to.
