Taxpayers who have reviewed the status of their second stimulus check using the “Get My Payment” tool from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and have received the message “Payment Status # 2 – Not Available”, they will not automatically receive a second stimulus check.
The IRS has begun to automatically deposit and send millions of economic impact payments worth up to $ 600 dollars for single people and for their financial dependents.
While a large number of Americans have received their second stimulus check, the IRS reported that those who receive the “Payment Status # 2” message in the Get My Payment they will have to wait until they file their 2020 tax return so they can get paid, even if they got their first stimulus check without a hitch.
He IRS advises that in case of not receiving the Economic Impact Payment, taxpayers should file their 2020 tax return electronically and claim the Recovery Refund Credit on your tax return to get your payment and any refund “as soon as possible,” the agency notes.
Apparently the problem is affecting people who filed their 2019 taxes through H&R Block and TurboTax. Some of the payments from the second stimulus check were sent by the IRS to an unknown bank account, after a large number of taxpayers have tried to track their deposits using the IRS tool.
But don’t worry – we have sent these payments on to the method you chose for Refund Transfer: direct deposit, check or Emerald Card. The money should be there by the end of the day.

On its website the IRS said the banks that received the agency payments they will have to return the money and the IRS reissue them and direct them to the correct accounts.
As of Tuesday night some people who filed their taxes through H&R Block and that your second payment had been sent to the wrong account they said that your check payments from your second stimulus check they had been successfully deposited into their bank accounts.

Only the IRS is the agency that can issue the stimulus payments, so you are inviting people to check your website for the update on the stimulus check instead of visiting or claiming their financial institutions or tax preparing companies.
He IRS also notes that telephone representatives do not have additional information beyond what appears on the Internal Revenue Service website.
