IRS tool was down for maintenance last night. Checked both SSNs this morning and it now shows my wife’s payment is schedule for the 24th instead of already deposited on the 17th. Fingers crossed that they resolved this issue.
-
I just checked my information again on Get My Payment and it still says that I was scheduled to receive stimulus on March 17, however when I put in my wife’s information, it now is indicating that her stimulus is scheduled for March 24. I don’t know if this helps or relieves any of the stress that the IRS and Treasury department has caused all of us, but at least there is hope that everyone’s full stimulus amount will be coming. Of course, I won’t trust it happens until it happens.

Hi everyone I just wanted to come give everyone hope. We originally only got half our payment on the 17th which was my half. We are married filed jointly 4 dependents. On the IRS website my payment gave the date of the 17th (and we received it) my husband had no date but stated he was eligible. Today we received the other half via direct deposit also. I also am hearing others have a date of the 24th. Hope you all receive it cause it’s yours ;)

We are a family of five and expected $7000. Only got $3500. I spoke to the IRS twice, first one said sometimes payments come in multiples, the second one said to wait five days from first deposit and if we haven’t received the other half to call them back and they’ll do a bank trace. I’m gonna call next Wednesday. I also read somewhere that they are releasing a second batch of payments on 3/24/21.

Same here!!! Only received half ($2100) when we are a family of three well within the range, was expecting $4200. Would love to know what is going on!

-
We didn’t even get half…. we were expecting $2800 and received a paper from the IRS stating we were only getting $1200??? How can that be…. confused!
-
Same here. Received 1/2 of what stimulus should be. Hoping answers come sooner rather than later.
-
Same here Married filled joint with one department only received half. We supposed to get $4200 but we only received $2100!!! We’ve already filled our 2020 taxes and gotten our return. No issue with the first two stimulus payment amounts.
-
Same family of 5 only receive $3500 was expecting $7000
-
Same situation here. All stimmys came in two deposits. Half wide half mine. Family of 5. This round only got half in my name as of now. Hoping other half shows up. Glad to see others in same boat though.
-
I had the same issue. Just looked up IRS get refund status for me and separately for my wife. It said my was scheduled but my wife’s wasn’t yet.
-
This is for the ones asking about MFJ My husband and I file jointly and have separate accounts and they made the full stimulus into my account for all three stimulus no problem with not having husband on my bank we still received all of it, but we are still awaiting our refund so who knows what the heck is going on 🤷🏻♀️
-
We were supposed to have gotten 7000, and only received 3500. I thought something had happened, but after reading all these posts, I see we aren’t the only ones. First time my college daughter is getting money and she is excited. Hopefully the IRS will fix this and send all of us the rest of the money. If anyone finds out anything from the IRS, PLEASE POST!!

Filed IS last year but no more debt but haven’t filed 2020 taxes yet

-
Just curious… did all whoRecieved half file married filing jointly last year?
-
Same here, from Colorado, Only Received half of what was expected (family of 4- 5600, only received 2800!?) . no clue but seems like we are not the only ones. no answers just yet, please keep sharing so IRS can hopefully settle all of this.
-
Same for me. Married, filed jointly, 3 dependants. Use H&R Block Emerald Advance. Was supposed to get $7,000 & only got $3,500 yesterday. Got the 1st and 2nd stimulus with no issues. H&R Block has no clue and didn’t offer much help.
-
Seems its happening to most that filed IS. We got the first 2 with no problem. Two equal deposits on the same day. This time, only the one in my husband’s name was deposited for exactly half of what we are eligible for. My WMP says eligible with DD # but no date.
-
I am only missing one payment. Same as last time I got mine and my kids my husbands went to his business account bc he’s self employed we don’t even use that account this time we got for 5 in the joint account and one is missing again. But nothing is in his business account unless it’s just delayed? 🤷🏼♀️

Filed Injured Spouse Married Jointly, Family of 5 Supposed to get 7000 only got directions deposited via US Bank $3500, spoke to the IRS today and said that possibly the second half will be deposited at a later date???
-
We received $5600. We only have one dependent child that is under 18 so we should have only received $4200. Our 19 year old received his own payment as well. Not sure why we got more than we should have and others are getting less. We’ll just set it aside because I’m sure the IRS will want it back.
-
I was expecting $8000 but only receive $4200, My 2nd Stimulus did not receive full amount because it was sent to the wrong bank account, We have no problem on the first stimulus. I already file my 2020 Tax return since the end of January and still in process including a rebate from 2nd stimulus. So yeah IRS is not doing a good job lately.
-
Same here got 2600 and not 5600 for a family of 4 filed married with 2 kids and were within parameters hoping it will be fixed
-
we only received half of of our money as well $3500 out of $7000 but they had no problem when they deposited the $600 to our account for our whole family but now there sending half of the remaining. so how do we get this corrected??/
-
There is a very very large Face Book group about this very thing. Just search “only got half my stimulus” and join the group…. we are not alone. It is many people all over the US.
-
Same thing happened to me and my spouse a family of 4 only received half 2800$ 5600$ was expected
-
That’s a valid theory!! Only my name is on the account!

Do anyone have there spouse on there bank account as a joint account. I’m thinking the reason might be that banks only accept deposits for names on the account. Let me know if this might be true because my wife isn’t on my account and I received half the previous 2 checks thru my bank account and hers went to our turbotax card. -
Same! Got 1st and 2nd stimulus with no problems. Only got half of this one even though we are way within the limits. Married filing jointly. Already filed and received 2020 refund.
-
Only received $4200- expecting $8400 for a family of 6. Full stimulus for first 2, 2020 taxes filed. They should create a tool to allow people like us to get the remaining portion because we need it now, rather than making us wait a year to claim missing funds in 2021 (assuming they do that again). But I don’t see that happening. It’s just not right.

Same situation 2020 taxes refund sent, only half of my $4200 stimulus check was deposited so ($2100). I know I well within the AGI (adjusted gross income). I will check back to see if anybody find a reason why this happened. Or a Fix for this.
-
I reached the IRS yesterday and spoke to someone. What I got both payments last year in full. While we made more last year, we didn’t make enough to cover the income so we qualified. The lady I got took a good 25 minutes of looking through all of my returns and said there was a problem. Basically she said they removed my spouse, recalculated, still qualified, added her back in for payment, but they cut in half exactly., Se opened up a complaint and said 30 days of waiting.
-
Married file jointly, received full amount first two times. Only got half yesterday and no date as to the other half.
-
Same boat. Only half deposited yesterday, still waiting on my other 2100.
-
I’m in the same both. Expecting $4200 but only got $2100. 1st time filing married jointly with one dependent after getting married last year. I checked “Get My Payment” tool & both mine + my husband’s said money was already deposited on March 17th. This forum makes me feel a little better knowing we’re not alone experiencing this. We still haven’t gotten our federal tax either it just said BEING PROCESSED for about a week or two now.
-
In Washington state (PNW). Received exactly half of our payment: $2800 instead of $5600 for our family of four. We are eligible for all of the 3rd stimulus.
Married and filed jointly, 2020 tax return received. IRS transcripts have not updated. I tried calling the IRS and got no where… -
Received exactly half payment: $2100 instead of $4200 family of three. This forum makes me feel a lot better – clearly a larger issue that the IRS will (eventually) remedy.
-
Yep. Should’ve received 9800 only had 4900 direct deposited.
-
Same here i filled for my two children and myself expected 4200 and got exactly half. Had a hard tike even finding this forum for people with the same issue.
-
I too am in the same boat! We expected $4200 and last Friday we got $2100. Last stimulus my husband was mailed a check for half the amount and I got the other half a few days later directly deposited. I cant find answers anywhere.
-
Filed married filing joint with one dependent both in 2019 and 2020. Only received half of our 3rd stimulus. Irs tool stated on both our info that it was to be deposited today. Hubby got his friday, and nothing on mine. This is frustrating and no one has answers as to what is going on. ,
-
Received half of our expected stimulus. Married, filing jointly with 4 kids. 8400 Expected, got half. On the “Get My Payment” .gov site, My social shows the deposit date which was accurate, my wife’s social shows she’s eligible but payment date will be updated.
-
Same thing here! Was supposed to receive 8400, but only got 4200. Another goof up from our ignorant, outdated IRS. Anybody else notice the IRS works flawlessly when they take your money?? But when they screw up, they don’t have a care in the world!
The IRS doesn’t take your withholdings. Your employer deducts it and sends it in.
-
Received half of my stimulus $3500 was deposited instead of the full $7000. Any answers on why
only half was deposited. -
Filed married jointly with one dependent. I got my half today as where my payment said but on where my payment for my husband it say date will update. Why not together as the first 2 times???
-
Yep , 4200 expected 2100 direct deposit , figuring out how much you should receive is not rocket science , nor is so many receiving only half . This needs to be brought main stream , Hardly anyone is even discussing it
-
We were expecting 4200. We only got 2100.
-
My family received half deposits for every stimulus. One half for my husband and one half for me. His deposit always came first. An hour later, mine came. Though with this third deposit, we have only received my husband’s money so far. Both of ours said they would deposit today but my husband got his post last Friday.
2020 taxes not processed
Family of 5
3 dependents
Got full stimulus 1+2 with no issues

Same here stimulus check should have been $7000 and exactly half was deposited into my account today $3500! What’s going on???
-
This issue is happening with me and my husband. We filed jointly and I did an injured spouse form on our taxes due to him having student loan debt. Our taxes haven’t been processed yet. But when we checked the “get my payment” tool on IRS website, looking up our information it says that the stimulus was directly deposited into our account, though we only received half. So $1400 instead of $2800.
-
Same here.. received 3500 of 7000
-
Same should have been $7000
Only got $3,500 -
Same here, married filing jointly, 2020 tax return received and we only got half of stimulus 3. We are eligible for all of it. I got nowhere when I called the IRS.
-
I also received 50% of what was expected. I called IRS stimulus hotline and spoke to a real human being. She had NO idea what I was talking about. She also messaged others in her team and they received no calls about this either. I am a tax preparer. I own my own business and received my 2020 refund in full. One clients txt me that her daughter expected 9800 in stimulus and only received 50% as well. I will keep an eye out to see if anyone here has gotten any answers.
-
Yup, only got half the expected payment.
-
I only received half of what I thought we would be getting too. I have no idea why.
-
-
Refunds are being sent out now? Got some of my stimulus and my refund says the same thing it did when I filed the 27th been received and is being processed or something like that. Im expecting 7,142 should I expect part of that? I dont mind tbh as long as they pay me the rest. Any money at this moment for rent and food helps. I havnt eaten in 3 days xD. As long as the kids get fed I don’t care but I like food so cmon money!
-
@erm0715 , damn I’m sorry to hear that.Did they process, complete and send your 2020 refund out yet? Other folks on here are saying if your 20 return hasn’t been fully processed and refunded then they go off of your 19 (which is BS), it’s not our fault that the irs is slow AF. I hope they fix your situation. As of right now I’m still in limbo with the “status unavailable msg”, I always receive a check or debit card as I used the non filers tool for the first 2 stimulus

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/03/16/irs-stimulus-payment-tracker/. This article states if you only received half of your stimulus payment the irs will issue the remaining balance, doesn’t specify when though
-
We are n PNW and received half of or stimulus for family of 3. Only issue we had with first stimulus was they took all of it for hubby’s back cs, but then I received that in Sept. Second stimulus we received all of it in 2 deposits. Idk what will happen this time. Still no movement on transcript for taxes. Ugh
-
I was supposed to have gotten $9800, and only got $7000. I don’t know what the heck is going on. I filed Married filing jointly with 5 dependent children.
-
Same only got half !
-
Same here, should have gotten $7000 but only $3500 received, Anyone know why? (Chase bank)
-
Only received half as well…if it’s not one thing it’s another.
-
Exact same situation with my family. 2020 Filed and got refund, married joint file, 1 kid. My pending bank deposit is only $2,100 exactly half of what it should be based on our AGI. Couldn’t find anything on IRS website, really would like some info on this…will update of I come across anything. Good luck any others.
-
Not for stimulus 3, but for stimulus 2. We are married, file jointly with two dependents. For stimulus 2 half was direct deposited and the other half was sent in a check.
