What won’t the Get My Payment tracking tool say?

The IRS tool will not give you hourly updates — the status information is updated once daily (usually overnight) — nor will it tell you how much stimulus money you’re getting (calculate your stimulus payment here) or provide details on the first two stimulus checks approved in 2020.

You won’t find steps for what to do if you run into payment problems.

The IRS doesn’t want you to call if you have payment trouble, either. The agency says its representatives don’t have information beyond what’s shown in the tool. Here’s what we recommend doing to address a stimulus issue.
