The U.S. Department of the Treasury and IRS will launch the “Get My Payment” web application next week it was announced Friday to allow Americans to check and or file for impact funds.

The free app—which will be found at IRS.gov—will allow taxpayers who filed their tax return in 2018 or 2019 but did not provide their banking information on their return to submit direct deposit information. Once they do, they will get their economic impact payments in their bank accounts quickly, instead of waiting for a check to arrive in the mail officials said.

The “Get My Payment” app will also allow taxpayers to track the status of their impact funds.

“Get My Payment” is an online app that will display on any desktop, phone or tablet. It does not need to be downloaded from an app store.

Taxpayers can track the status of their payment, y entering basic information in the “Get My Payment” app:

Social Security Number
Date of birth
Mailing address

Taxpayers who want to add their bank account information to speed receipt of their payment will also need to provide the following additional information:

Their Adjusted Gross Income from their most recent tax return submitted, either 2019 or 2018
The refund or amount owed from their latest filed tax return
Bank account type, account and routing numbers

Treasury and the IRS encourage taxpayers to collect this information now, through their tax preparers or other means, so they can submit this information in the app as soon as it is launched and get their money fast.

Americans who did not file a tax return in 2018 or 2019 can use “Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info Here” to submit basic personal information to quickly and securely receive their Economic Impact Payments.

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, Treasury officials said.

“Get My Payment” cannot update bank account information after an Economic Impact Payment has been scheduled for delivery. To help protect against potential fraud, the tool also does not allow people to change bank account information already on file with the IRS. The IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email, text messages or social media channels to request personal or financial information.

We urge taxpayers to be on the lookout for scammers and email phishing attempts about the COVID-19 and Economic Impact Payments.

Please visit IRS.gov for updates on the launch of the “Get My Payment” here.

Non Tax filers can also access the IRS site for information on how to enter payment information here.
