The IRS enables you to check when your 2021 Economic Impact Payment is available. The tool updates once each day, usually overnight. The IRS asks that you do not call them and encourage you to use this feature to check the status of your payment.
Previous payment information is no longer available in the feature “Get My Payment”. The first batch of payments will be sent by direct deposit with some recipients who have started to receive them by March 12, 2021. Additional batches of payments will be sent in the coming weeks by direct deposit or by mail as a check or debit card.
