Dingell Releases Information to Track IRS Payments

WASHINGTON, DC - Today, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (D-MI) released information from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for how individuals can access the status of their economic impact payments via an online portal.  

Get My Payment allows taxpayers who filed their tax return in 2018 or 2019 but did not provide their banking information on either return to submit direct deposit information. Once they do, they will get their Economic Impact Payments deposited directly in their bank accounts, instead of waiting for a check to arrive in the mail. “Get My Payment” also allows taxpayers to track the status of their payment. It can be accessed here: www.irs.gov/coronavirus/get-my-payment

Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info is for individuals who are not required to file tax returns to provide basic personal information to quickly and securely receive their Economic Impact Payment. It can be accessed here: www.irs.gov/coronavirus/non-filers-enter-payment-info-here

Americans who filed 2018 or 2019 tax returns with direct deposit information or receive Social Security do not need to take action. They will automatically receive payment in their bank accounts.

“It is critical the Federal government provide all the resources people need in an easy to access manner. The launch of these online portals will streamline the process for people to get the relief they need," said Dingell. “If anyone has issues getting their payment, I’m here to help. Contact my office and we will work with you to fix the issue.”

The CARES Act provides payments of up to $1,200 per adult and $500 per child. Individuals making up to $75,000 ($150,000 for married workers) will receive payments of $1,200 with an additional $500 payment per minor child. The payments decrease ratably and stop altogether for single workers making more than $99,000 ($198,000 for married workers and $218,000 for a family of four.)

The IRS is expected to make approximately 60 million payments to Americans through direct deposit for people who used direct deposit on their 2018 or 2019 tax returns. This will include Social Security beneficiaries who filed federal tax returns that included direct deposit information.

Shortly after that (hopefully within 10 days) after the first round of payments are made in mid-April, the IRS plans to make a second round of payments. These payments will be made to Social Security beneficiaries who did not file tax returns in 2018 or 2019 and receive their Social Security benefits via direct deposit. The estimates are that nearly 99 percent of Social Security beneficiaries who do not file a return receive their benefits through direct deposit. 

Residents of the 12th Congressional District who have questions regarding their direct payments or experience issues an reach out to Dingell’s office at (313) 278-2936 or send a secure message here.
