As part of the COVID-related Tax Relief Act of 2020, the federal government is sending a second round of stimulus payments (also known as economic impact payments) to eligible recipients.
How will you receive your payment?
If you are eligible for a stimulus payment, you could receive your funds through:
- Automatic Deposit Your payment may be deposited directly into the same account used when you filed your 2019 tax return or the account number used in the previous stimulus payment program. The payment will be listed as "IRS TREAS 310 XXTAXEIP2". You can monitor your account and watch for your payment through Online Banking or Mobile Banking app.
- Paper Check in the Mail You will most likely receive a US Treasury Check in the mail if you have not provided the IRS your direct deposit account information in the last two years. The stimulus check will be mailed to the address on file at the IRS from your 2019 year tax return. Your check can be deposited using our Mobile Deposit service.
You can check the status of your payment on the IRS Website.
