Phone number: How to call for payment

Looking for the IRS phone number for stimulus payments? Yes, you can call the IRS about your second stimulus payment. A representative may be able to answer questions that the IRS website cannot.

The IRS's dedicated stimulus website is a good resource for those wondering where their stimulus checks are, if they qualify, and how much they will receive. However, if your questions are more specific or you have trouble navigating the available online tools, there are phone numbers you can call for help.

According to USA Today, 88% of Americans over the age of 18 qualify for the stimulus package. The IRS hotline is not equipped to handle an exorbitant number of inquiries. Rather, they are encouraged to seek answers at the Economic Impact Payment Information Center.

The IRS has an app to track the status of stimulus checks called Get My Payment. By entering a little personal information, you can find out if the government has sent you a check. If it has been sent, you can also use a tool called USPS Informed Delivery to receive a notification about where the check was sent.

For other logistical questions, the IRS hotline is at your disposal. Be prepared with your questions and basic personal information, keeping in mind that an automated recording will try to help you before connecting you to an actual representative.

The IRS Economic Impact Payment phone number is 800-919-9835. You can speak with a live person over the phone about your stimulus check.

However, be prepared to be put on hold. If your questions are not answered by the automated response and you want to speak to a live operator, you may end up joining a long waiting list. Some people say they are unable to connect.

For this reason, the IRS recommends using the dedicated stimulus check portal for quick assistance. They also caution those who qualify for a stimulus check but are not required to file a tax return to use the Non-Filers tool to register their payments.
