Is the bank holding my payment?

But this is not the only problem that users have encountered.

Many are complaining that banks are holding their deposits.

But this is not so.

It's only taking a couple of days to process the checks.

"Customers who are eligible to receive direct deposit of their stimulus payment can expect it as early as March 17, 2021," Wells Fargo Bank reported.

Many users of the social network Twitter responded complaining about the deadlines set by the bank.

The people who provided their bank details to the IRS were the first to receive the direct payments.

Paper checks and prepaid debit cards will be mailed before the end of the month.

Checks for $ 1,400 are starting to arrive]

Chase Bank also noted on Twitter that "most eligible customers can expect to see stimulus payments in their Chase account as early as Wednesday March 17."

Checks sent to the wrong bank accounts

Some people pointed out that their checks were deposited into the wrong bank accounts this weekend.

They were surprised to see that the last four digits of their bank account numbers were incorrect when they checked the status of their payment on the IRS website.

In the event that a filer's bank information is invalid, or the account has been closed, the bank will return the payment to the IRS, and the agency will mail a check to the registered address, the agency says on its page.

Additionally, filers who did not receive a payment in the first two rounds, or received less money than they were entitled to, may be eligible to claim the Recovery Refund Credit on their 2020 returns, according to the IRS.

Second stimulus checks for millions of clients of tax preparation companies, such as TurboTax, H&R Block, Jackson Hewitt, TaxAct and others, were deposited into the wrong bank accounts by the IRS earlier this year.

The agency mistakenly deposited the payments into temporary "pass-through" accounts that tax preparation companies created in previous years and that their clients no longer had access to.

But TurboTax and the IRS said they worked together to ensure the agency has correct customer bank account information for third stimulus payments.

Millions of people face delays in tax refunds

Nearly seven million tax filers waiting for their tax refunds face significant delays this tax season.

This figure is more than three times higher than in the same period last year, when less than two million declarations were delayed in their processing, according to The Washington Post.

This is just one of the problems the IRS is facing this tax season.

The agency is still classifying returns from last year after the federal income tax filing date was extended from April 15 to July 15 due to the pandemic.
