The IRS says its new Get My Payment tool is now up and running. It allows taxpayers to check on the status of their Economic Impact Payments (EIPs), which are being sent to help ease the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis. If you filed a 2018 or 2019 tax return, you can use the application to find out the projected date for when your payment will be deposited into your bank account. Also, taxpayers who didn’t use direct deposit on their last tax return will be able to input information to receive their payments via direct deposit into their bank accounts, expediting receipt. According to the IRS, more than 80 million EIPs have hit bank accounts so far. Try the tool here: https://bit.ly/34LljfJ
