CARES Act Rebate Check Update: “Get My Payment” Website Portal Now Open

Today marks the debut of the IRS’s much-anticipated “Get My Payment” portal, designed to expedite delivery of CARES Act rebate checks to all eligible taxpayers. The IRS is encouraging everyone to visit the site and verify contact and taxpayer information from their 2018 or 2019 federal tax returns.

It’s especially important for taxpayers who do not currently have direct deposit information on file with the IRS. The portal allows you to enter bank account information and receive payment much, much faster. The difference between direct deposit and check by mail can be a matter of months.

You can also use the portal to track your payment status, and update your mailing address if you moved since last filing.
