Recovery rebate credit

[Mommajess33]

So, since my payment went to my old closed cashapp account I’ve been searching google for answers like crazy. A lot of articles are saying I’ll have to claim the recovery credit because IRS won’t be re issuing checks (some are saying it’ll bounce back to IRS and I’ll be sent a check, which is what I think will happen and hope will happen) BUT THAT CREDIT IS ONLY FOR THE FIRST STIMULUS!! So, if I’m not sent a paper check since the direct deposit failed I’m just shit out of luck? I just want a for sure answer on what happens next from the IRS. I don’t wanna read some forum that’s probably BS about how it’ll be 5 weeks or I’ll have to claim the credit still or yada yada yada. I just don’t get why everywhere is saying to use the credit if you don’t receive the second stimulus, but it’s not for this second stimulus so WTF.

The IRS will send you notice 1444 (first stimulus) and 1444B (second stimulus). Once the 1444B notice is sent, you’ll see the option to file for the credit. If I had to guess, I’d say that will occur after Jan. 15 or Jan. 31.
