Ask the representative to contact the electronic transaction or direct deposit processing company your institution uses. Ask the processing company to provide your direct deposit tracking number.

The IRS could also send out your third stimulus payment on a prepaid card or by check. If you already have a prepaid card from the IRS for previous payments, you will get a new card if the IRS decides to send your third stimulus payment in this form.

They tend to go out in the early morning (usually around 6am EST), so if it has not been deposited to your account by early morning it generally will not be deposited that day.

The IRS issues more than 9 out of 10 refunds in less than 21 days.
