You can request a trace by calling the IRS (800-919-9835) or by completing Form 3911, “Taxpayer Statement Regarding Refund,” and mailing or faxing it. The IRS has said that you will get a response about six weeks after the request for a trace is received, but there can be delays.
What to do if you have not received a stimulus check?

Is the stimulus check based on a tax return?
The IRS has explained that the first payment made might be based on a taxpayer’s 2019 tax return, and the second payment is a “plus-up” payment that is based on the taxpayer’s 2020 tax return. The IRS has also said that part of the problem may be with “injured spouse” claims on a tax return.
