I received a direct deposit of $2400 yesterday. Filed 2019 taxes MFJ with my Canadian spouse with an ITIN. She's still in Canada awaiting interview. Could be a mistake?

Keep the money and run! 🤣😂

 

Edit to add: this motivated me to check and we have a deposit dated today 4/15. Ours is based on 2018.

FYI - the "Get My Payment" tool is available on the IRS website, for those who do not have a bank account on file.

Have some patience as it just came out hours ago and is swamped. It did go through for us but took a while.

If they weren't in the military in 2019, it was a mistake. But not an issue...as said, take it and run. It will be fine when 2020 taxes are complete anyway.

My wife got her SS card on 4/10 and I filed my tax return that same day online so both our socials are there. As per TurboTax it was accepted/received by the IRS but it has not been approved yet. 
 

Since payments have already started going out will they go based on our 2018 tax return where we’d only get $1,200 this year? 
 

I don’t get a refund so they don’t have my bank info

See on the IRS site with the "get payments" part, you can enter your ITIN number, what's that about?

You can enter an ITIN to do the lookup to determine eligibility.

ITINs used with an active duty spouse are qualified still.
