Millions of Americans still haven't received their $600 government
payments, despite getting the first payment back in the spring without
issue.
“The main issue was on the IRS’s side, they had a computer glitch that
they caught,” says Craig Johnson, a CPA with Holman Frenia Allison. “That's the
main thing, but I think everyone that's entitled and eligible for it will see
it within the next few days.”
If you haven't received your
second round of stimulus money yet, check your mailboxes -- it may show up in
the form of a debit card, even if you
had direct deposit for round one.
“The biggest problem I've heard with the card is people get a white
envelope in the mail at home as we all do and who opens all those, you might
look like a fake credit card, people cut them up and throw them away,” says Johnson.
Many are seeing on IRS.gov’s stimulus tracker – Payment #2 – Not
Available – We don't have enough information or you're not eligible.
