New financial aid in connection with COVID-19: how to track payment online

If you're wondering when you will receive your second coronavirus payout, you can now check it online. NJ.

On Monday, January 4, the IRS reopened the tool Get my payment.

It can help you find out if the agency sent your second payment, check if the first one was sent, and if the money was sent via direct deposit or by mail.

According to the IRS, the data is updated once a day at night, so there is no need to check it more often than once a day.

The IRS said it began sending direct deposit payments to millions of Americans on December 29, and the first paper checks were mailed on December 30. The statement also said that the IRS assistants on the phone had no additional information beyond what was already available on IRS.gov.

Taxpayers who received their first quarantine payments by direct deposit must receive a second payment in the same way.

Don't worry if you haven't received your second payment yet: it may be in transit.

If you haven't received your first payment, you can claim it on your tax return by applying for a loan called Recovery Rebate Credit. Then you get paid in the form of a tax refund.

The IRS said that US citizens and resident aliens in general are eligible for a second payment if they are not declared dependents on someone else's tax return and if they meet certain income requirements.

Eligible individuals will receive a payout of up to $ 600 for self-filing, or $ 1200 for married couples with an additional $ 600 for each child under 17 years of age.

“Generally, if you adjusted your 2019 gross income up to $75 for individuals and up to $000 for married couples filing jointly and widowers, you will receive the full amount of the second payment,” the IRS says. “For filers with income above these amounts, the payment amount is reduced.”

The restrictions on receiving benefits are lower than they were for the first payments.

Single people who earn between $ 75 and $ 000 will receive partial benefits. Those who are married and jointly filing tax returns will receive partial benefits if they earn between $ 87 and $ 000.
