The Treasury Department sent out 90 million payments on Wednesday, March 17, so it's possible you've already received yours. How to check status of your payment The first way to check on your payment is to log in to your bank account and see if the money has been deposited. If you use direct deposit to pay your federal taxes or to receive refunds, the stimulus money will be deposited in that account. It'll look like this: ""IRS TREAS 310 TAXEIP3."" If you don't use direct deposit, you might receive a check in the mail. Around 150,000 checks have already been sent out.
