What Happens to Your Stimulus Check When the IRS Has Wrong Bank Info?

Millions of American have already received the third, and likely last, round of stimulus payments. In the event you’re eligible for the check but haven’t received it yet, the reason could be incorrect bank account information. Here’s what that means and what you might be able to do about it.

The IRS states that if your bank account information has changed or was incorrect, you will not be able to simply update it in the Get My Payment tool. Instead, the bank will return your payment to the IRS, and then the IRS will mail you the payment by check at the address it already has on file for you.

The easiest way to update an old or incorrect address is to file your 2020 tax return with your current address if you have not already done so, according to the IRS. The fastest way to do this is to file electronically.

To get your payment reissued, the IRS advises to set up direct deposit with Get My Payment. Once the original payment has been returned to the IRS, you will likely see a “Need More Information” message in the Get My Payment portal. From there, you can choose direct deposit to a bank account, prepaid debit card or alternative financial product that has a routing and account number associated with it.
