According to the Internal Revenue Service, by Friday, April 17th, U.S. citizens will be able to track the date their COVID-19 relief payment is scheduled to be deposited into their bank account or mailed to them.
The Internal Revenue Service’s “Get My Payment” tool will also guide citizens through a process where they can submit their personal bank account information. That process allows citizens to receive payments more quickly, as delivering paper checks may not begin until May.
The IRS is not contacting anyone to collect personal or bank account information. Calls, texts, emails and official-looking postcards or printouts that suggest otherwise are scams.
