The IRS says it will update its records with your new address. If you’re typically not required to file taxes and haven’t received your stimulus payment, you can still claim your payment as Recovery Rebate Credit on your taxes this year.
How do you fix an incorrect stimulus check?
You can also speak to a live human regarding your check amount by dialing 800-919-9835, but you should know that “IRS live phone assistance is extremely limited at this time,” according to the agency’s website.
How do I update my address for the stimulus check?
You can update your address in five ways:
- In-person by visiting a local IRS office.
- By calling 1-800-829-1040 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time.
- By filing Form 8822, Change of Address.
- By using your new address on your next tax return.
- By mailing a written statement to the location you’d normally file your tax return.
Who do I contact if my stimulus check is incorrect?
The IRS phone number for stimulus check questions is 800-919-9835.
What to do if your address has changed on your stimulus check?
However, you can also call the IRS or visit your local IRS office to tell them that your address has changed, fill out IRS Form 8822, or mail a written statement to the IRS with your full name, old address, new address, and social security number.

Why was my stimulus check returned to the IRS?
According to the IRS, if you see the notice “Need More Information” after using the “Get My Payment” tool, your stimulus check was returned to the IRS “because the post office was unable to deliver it,” which is likely because you moved since the last time you filed your taxes and have not updated your address with the IRS.
When do I get my stimulus check if I haven’t received it?
The agency says that this notice will likely show up two to three weeks after your stimulus payment was issued, so you should continue to check the tracking tool on the IRS website over the next month if you don’t receive your check before then.

Are there any issues with the third stimulus check?
Similar issues could occur for people who normally don’t file tax returns and who used the non-filers tool to report their dependents last year. Because the first two rounds of checks excluded dependents above the age of 17, the IRS didn’t count older teens and adult dependents on the non-filer tool.
