Stimulus check account transfers are the quickest way to receive your $1,200 economic impact payment from the IRS You can wait for a physical check, but you will have to wait much longer

If you have not set up a stimulus check account transfer, how long will it take for the US Postal Service to send you a stimulus check? A House Finance and Banking Committee report submitted by Committee Chairman Richard E Neal notes that "about 5 million paper checks are expected to be issued per week, which could take up to 20 weeks"

If you know how to set up a check account transfer for the stimulus package, you can get paid much sooner However, taxpayers only had until 12 pm on Wednesday, May 13 to set up their account transfers, so it is too late now

Nevertheless, the second round of the stimulus package may be implemented If the second round of the stimulus package is approved, taxpayers will again be able to apply for direct deposit

If so, follow these steps

Before you begin, make sure you have your information on hand This includes your Social Security number, adjusted gross income for 2018 or 2019, and basic banking information as listed on your check or bank website

If you have already completed the following steps and are trying to find out when you will receive your stimulus check, the IRS says it should be able to confirm, depending on how long it has been since you applied If the electronic funds transfer data is entered by 9:00 am PT on Tuesday, payment information will be ready by the following Saturday

Once that window is complete, go to the IRS Get My Payment page, tap the Get My Payment blue button, tap OK on the page confirming authorized use, and on the next page the Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), date of birth, and residency information On the next screen, the payment status will be displayed Whether scheduled or if the service cannot yet determine the status
