IRS Stimulus Payment Never Received for 2020/2021 - Help!

I found a way to solve missing stimulus payments issue, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlW9SZNcaPI

Ugh, that sucks. I had a similar issue. First thing's first, make sure they have their tax returns for those years ready. The IRS might've sent notices about the payments - tell them to check for those too. Any chance they moved or had issues with their tax filings?

I feel ya, I'm in the same boat. The whole stimulus thing was a mess. Have they tried calling the IRS directly? It's a pain, but sometimes it's the only way to get answers.

Listen up, cause I've been down this road. Here's what you need to do: 1. Gather all tax docs for 2020 and 2021 2. Check if any IRS notices were sent (they might've gone to an old address) 3. Use the Get My Payment tool on the IRS site 4. If all else fails, file for the Recovery Rebate Credit on their next tax return 5. Consider calling the IRS, but be prepared for long wait times If your sibling didn't file taxes those years, that could be why they didn't get the payments. They might need to file returns for those years to claim the money. Also, make sure they were actually eligible. There were income limits and other requirements. Good luck! The system's a mess, but don't give up. That money's rightfully theirs!

Listen up, here's what you need to do: 1. Check the IRS website for the "Where's My Payment" tool 2. Gather ALL tax documents for 2020 and 2021 3. Look for any IRS notices that might've been sent 4. If nothing works, call the IRS Economic Impact Payment line at 800-919-9835 Remember, patience is key. The IRS is still working through backlogs. If you can't get through on the phone, consider seeking help from a local Taxpayer Advocate Service office. Good luck!

Am I the only one who thinks its ridiculous that we even have to jump through all these hoops? The goverment should have this figured out by now smh

Plot twist: maybe your sibling got the money and forgot? 🤣 Jk jk, but for real, check their bank statements just in case. Sometimes these things slip through the cracks!

Have you considered that maybe your sibling just... forgot? I know it sounds crazy, but my cousin swore up and down he never got his, turns out it was sitting in his account the whole time 🤦‍♂️

OK hear me out: what if the government is secretly keeping all the unclaimed stimulus money to fund their lizard people transformation program? 🦎👀

Hey OP, just wondering - has your sibling used the Non-Filers tool on the IRS website? If they weren't required to file taxes, this might be why they missed out.

Unpopular opinion: maybe we should all just be grateful for what we got and stop chasing after every last penny? 🤷‍♂️

Hey, I found a method to actually get someone on the phone at the IRS. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works.

Plot twist: what if your sibling got the money and is just playin you? 🕵️‍♂️💰

This whole stimulus situation is a dumpster fire. I've been trying to sort out my parents' payments for months. The system is broken af.
