Here’s how to track the status of your stimulus check

TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - The IRS announced last week the third round of Economic Impact Payments will begin reaching Americans this week.

Following approval of the American Rescue Plan Act, the first batch of payments will be sent by direct deposit, which some recipients will start receiving as early as this weekend, and with more receiving this coming week.

Additional batches of payments will be sent in the coming weeks by direct deposit and through the mail as a check or debit card. The vast majority of these payments will be by direct deposit.

No action is needed by most taxpayers; the payments will be automatic and, in many cases, similar to how people received the first and second round of Economic Impact Payments in 2020.

People can check the “Get My Payment” tool on IRS.gov on Monday, March 15 to see the payment status of the third stimulus payment.
