You could qualify for a $500 check or bank deposit if you did not receive your qualifying $500 per dependent child payment in the CARES Act stimulus check.
The IRS said it mistakenly failed to send $500 per dependent child payments to those who used the IRS’s non-filers tool before May 17.
“To correct this, the IRS is sending money to those people who were affected,” an IRS statement said.
The IRS began making direct deposit payments on August 5 and mailing checks and debit cards on August 7. Go to irs.gov/coronavirus/get-my-payment to check the status of our payment.
Note: The IRS said it does not contact taxpayers about payments. If you are contacted about this, it could be a scam.
