How to Fill Out IRS Form 3911 for a Lost Stimulus Check

  • CORRECTION: If filing for EIP3 uses 2021 instead of 2020 as the tax year. For EIP1 and 2, use 2020.
    NOTE: You should only be filing this after attempting to claim the recovery rebate credits on your Form 1040 tax returns. File Form 3911 if still no luck, or your stimulus check was lost or stolen.
    IRS mailing addresses can be found in the FAQ on the IRS website:
    www.irs.gov/newsroom/question...
    Many taxpayers were eligible to receive three Economic Impact Payments EIP (a/k/a Stimulus Checks) during 2020 and 2021. If you were eligible to receive a stimulus check, but did not receive one or more payments, you can apply for a new check via IRS Form 3911.
    In this video, I cover an example Form 3911 and how to complete depending upon which payment you are missing. The mailing addresses for Form 3911 depends upon which state you live in.

    Excellent video! One question: if we have relocated out of state since 2020, should we mail this form to the IRS office for our current state of residence or to the IRS office for the state in which we were living when our stimulus check should have been issued (Box #3)? I assume it would be where we were living at the time of filing since that is the office which will need to run the trace. Thanks for the wonderful walk through helping me track down this missing payment!

    Hi Jason-It looks like the IRS changed their criteria for the third stimulus check (based on 2020 AGI) and the Recovery Rebate Credit (based on 2021 AGI). Is there anyway to get this amount if you didn't receive the third check, but your AGI goes up and you don't qualify for the Credit on your 2021 return?

    Thank you for your great explanation. My daughter moved in 2020 but filed her 2020 with new address. Unfortunately the IRS did not process her 2020 return until early 2022 so her EIP3 was sent to old address and it was not forwarded. I wrote IRS in June 2021 and explained everything and they sent her a letter in March 2022 simply confirming they sent her check to old address. We attempted six times to call and after an hour or so on hold each time we were told to call another number to start an IRS search for the original check to see if it was cashed by someone else. After ten attempts to call the number we were told to call again in a less busy time. If we send the form 3911 do you feel they will figure this out or simply send another letter confirming they send her the money already? They need to start that search to rule out a fraud situation.. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!

    • @JasonDKnott
      @JasonDKnott  2 роки тому

      You can certainly try sending the Form 3911, but you might face the same issues. The recent guidance suggests it is always best to contact the IRS first by phone to start a payment trace. You've already done that, so now the only next step is to file a Form 3911. Honestly, the IRS systems are a mess and it could take a very long time to get it resolved. The IRS is being ultra conservative with releasing payments because they believe too many taxpayers are receiving doubled checks or there is an identity theft issue.

    Hi Jason so I filed taxes and claimed the Recovery Rebate Credit for 2021 since I didn't get the refund and the IRS adjusted the refund and took the 1400 off thinking I already got it but I didn't. I'm going to fill out the form 3911 but have a question since I did the taxes already, under section 1 line 7 do I put the date I filed electronically to the IRS under date filed? I know you said to leave it blank unless already filed. Just want to make sure I got the info correct on that. Thank you

I remember the first check was for $1400, but in the list it says $1200 is the maximum payment for the first stimulus check.

    Hi Jason. I finalized my divorce in February 2021. The EIP3 was mailed out in March (Part 1). My bank account was also hacked in January of 2021 so my accounts were frozen. I opened a new account the same day that the check was issued for direct deposit, I naturally assume that the bank sent it back. With that being said, I would think that they would have mailed me a check. Well, I never saw it. The ex was still living in my house at that time. I just want to know how and where it was sent to. (Part2). Will this form help my situation? Thank you.

      @JasonDKnott  2 роки тому +2

      It is possible for parents to claim their children as dependents up to the age of 24, so long as the child is a student and the parents provide more than 1/2 of their support. The IRS might think that you are still a dependent of your parents, which is why they issued them your stimulus checks. If they claimed you as a dependent, they should amend their Form 1040 for the years you were claimed as a dependent. If they refuse to amend prior year returns, you need to contact the IRS directly and explain your circumstances.

    These payments came out during my divorce. We filed jointly in 2019 (year of the divorce). The first EIP was sent to me via check, and it was split between myself and my ex as appropriate. I have not received the 2nd or 3rd payments, as the ex was somehow able to funnel everything into her bank account. I have documentation of this. Seeing how the money was distributed from the treasury electronically - the IRS "thinks" that I received the payments. What recourse do I have? Will completing these forms take care of it? Thanks.

    • @JasonDKnott
      @JasonDKnott  2 роки тому

      There are a couple of issues to contend with. If your divorce was finalized in 2019, you should have filed as single taxpayers for 2019. Your filing status is determined on the last day of the tax year, so if divorced in 2019, needed a single tax filing for each for the 2019 calendar year. As far as reclaiming the money, the best first step is to go through your divorce attorney that handled the divorce on your side. You can go down this route of reclaiming a refund via Form 3911, but the IRS is going to be very unwilling to issue another payment in this context, absent a showing of outright fraud.

Called IRS put in a trace but I was told up to 120 days from April 11. IRS rep said to call back after 120 days since IRS can't reissue a check.

      There is no guidance yet on filing Form 3911 for missing advanced child tax credit payments. For now, it seems the best approach is to wait until you need to file your Form 1040 for the 2021 tax year. When you compute the child tax credit on your Form 1040, record the actual amount of advanced payments received during the 2021 calendar year, and the remainder owed (if any) will be added to your tax refund on Form 1040.

    hello Mr Jason first and for most not with an awesome video It was very informational and helpful , although with that being said I just have two questions so my situation was a little different somebody found my taxes I believe and it was processed and it was sent to a bank and Santa Barbara Bank and well I spoke to the IRS IRS indicated but I needed to spell out a 3911 because the EIP number two or one or both went to the Sylvester Bank/Tanta Barbara Bank so I'm filling out the form now and I'm not for sure if I should say it was stolen or if I'm just didn't receive it

      @JasonDKnott  Рік тому +1

      Yes, for the EIP3 you should put 2021. See the description of the video for more updates. The IRS guidance changes a lot, and they now recommend you contact the IRS first to speak with an agent and start a payment trace. The Form 3911 is filed afterwards.

    Hello Jason! I was issued my 3rd stimulus, however, it was not direct deposited into my account like the first 2. I call IRS. Spoke to a rep, told me to look on my transcripts and there it was 1400 issued March 2021. I checked my bank statements from March-Dec 2021. Was not deposited. So I filled out and faxed that form to start the trace. Wrote EP3. I can’t remember the right acronym. But I wrote what you said on February 2nd. My question is, can I file my taxes before I get that response of the trace. The guy said I probably received a debit card. But I probably threw it out thinking it was junk Mail. He said thousand of Americans did that. Also told me I had to put that info on line 30. Do I file without receiving the results? Or wait? I know the IRS guy said this is the only way to receive that 3rd stimulus

I said no, which it gives you the response to fill out, which was $0 received. In the end, the 1400 will be sent to me. Will receive the check in April along with the normal amount I should receive from my income tax. I know I never cashed a check or received a debit card so I’m not worried because if they send me that 1400, and it is found that I received it, I would then have to pay it back! Just file folks!

    I misplaced my $600 stimulus check but fortunately, I found it BEFORE it expired.
    I tried getting it cashed BEFORE the one year expiration date but was unable to do so because all the places I went to refused to cash it because it was almost expired (7 days BEFORE the one year expiration date).
    They said that they don't cash refund checks because of so much fraud going on and even though the check is still valid at that point, they don't want to chance cashing it
    I told them it's legit! It has a watermark on it!
    They still refused to cash it....
    When I file 3911, do I send in this $600 stimulus check? I endorsed it on the back when I first attempted to cash it. So I'm s little confused about Line 9 on Form 3911.

Her exact wording to me was “well I am not saying you can’t mail in your form, but we handle everything through phone line and you just have to keep calling.” But after all week long failed attempt to get through the phone like, I’m wondering if I should just mail in my form at this point for a better chance of getting a response back from IRS.
