The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) urged the beneficiaries of the second stimulus check not to call the agency to find out the status of the payment, since the personnel who answer calls, supposedly, do not have more information than that which appears in IRS.gov website.
Although the argument of the IRS, the office advised of the above this Monday in a press release from its online site.
At least until January 15, the agency in coordination with the Treasury Department The process of distributing the financial rescue funds will continue for coronavirus.
In the new available press release, the IRS added that direct deposits from stimulus funds will take several more days to process to individual accounts.
In many cases, the electronic transfers appeared as “pending” and “provisional” until this Monday, January 4, the official payment date.
“Paper checks have started coming out now and will continue to be sent during January. Some people will be sent debit cards in January, and the IRS urges beneficiaries to carefully verify their correspondence, ”the entity says in an entry on its website.
“Payments by mail will require more processing and shipping time. People living abroad will have longer waiting times for checks due to interruptions in air travel and mail deliveries that in some countries will delay the process, “added the authorities.
The distribution process began last week with the first direct deposits. In the event that the person has not received the payment by December 15, they will need to claim the refund as a “Refund Recovery Credit” in the upcoming tax season.
