Form the IRS site. 

"The routing number must be nine digits. The first two digits must be 01 through 12 or 21 through 32. On the sample check shown here, the routing number is 250250025."

"The account number can be up to 17 characters (both numbers and letters). Include hyphens but omit spaces and special symbols. Enter the number from left to right and leave any unused boxes blank."

 

You cannot use a swift code for a foreign bank since the IRS does not send them that way.

no problem with routing or acct number--problem is AGI and/or refund numbers---have done lots of research on this but system just comes up with  numbers don't match what we have on file--i have tried numbers for both 2018 and 2019 returns.  there is one more thing i will try later as have to wait for 24 hour unlock

I wouldn't give up hope.

Haven't received mine yet either. I'm going to wait a few more weeks. 

With no passenger flights scheduled to Thailand, the logistics of international mail has resulted in many delays. 

My wife just mailed off some insurance papers to the States. She was told it will take 5~6 weeks. It usually makes the trip in less than a week.

I agree... but some people got theirs by mail to thailand already--many others have not...  but would be nice if I could get bank details accepted

What numbers are you talking about? Your AGI and refund amounts?

Never mind, I just read you post above. Sorry about that.

Are you trying to do a standard 1040 form to report your income that is high enough to file a return? 

If your income is under the threshold to do a 1040 your should be using the non filers site. https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/non-filers-enter-payment-info-here

He trying to input his bank info into the Get My Payment site since it's now allowing/asking him....so he can get his economic impact payment via direct deposit vs snail mail.   

 

But based on numerous posts I've seen in other blogs even if getting his bank info inputted/accepted unless he can get it in soon the IRS will just mail out a check/debit card.

Have  you tried entering your negative AGI as a positive AGI since apparently that has worked for some people in the same situation as you having a negative AGI for 2018.   That is, enter 3000 vs -3000.

I don't think you have to enter your AGI or refund numbers on the get my payment site.

They apparently go through that AGI/refund verification process "when entering bank info." 

 

But just to get into the Get My Payment website to check status of your payment you do not need to enter AGI/refund info.

basically yes--i have seen people report that they can't enter bank info because they never had any bank info in their returns.   But it seems others have been able to.  One thing i didn't try is the no refund option and enter 0.  People had said just select refund and then 0--I see both of my returns have the refund as a blank--no 0.  Anyway that's the last thing i will try  later

Try 1. That is what is used on the non filers site. Not sure it will accept a 0.

Anytime a block on a tax form where a dollar amount could go is left "blank" it's assumed to be zero.  So anytime you are asked to enter the amount reflected on your tax form block XYZ and that block is blank then you would enter a zero.

Yeah Ill try 0 first and then after locked out will try 1 tomorrow.. THX

[Curt1591]

Just for comparison, I did some math.

The IRS received my 2019 tax form 18 Feb. I received my meager refund 12 July. That's about a

5 month turnaround.

Yeah--I've tried 0 already on the refund option... I will try 0 on the tax owed or no tax owed option

Check the IRS "Check My Refund" website.  Since you are not getting any refund you would enter 0 in the refund amount....if it doesn't accept 0, then try entering 1 dollar.   But with no refund coming it may just show whether received or not....would not say if processing is done.

My refund was because the $16 I sent as "What I owed" was $1.92 too much. So, they sent me a refund. 

The 18 February date is from the deposit stamp on the check I sent them.

unless for example you are trying to check your refund status at

https://sa.www4.irs.gov/irfof/lang/en/irfofgetstatus.jsp

 

you will not be permitted to enter a "0" in the expected refund blank.

 

Please enter a valid Refund Amount and try again.

• If your Refund Amount is less than a dollar, enter one dollar.
• Do not enter commas, dollar sign, or decimals.
• Do not enter an amount greater than 9999999999.
  
   
• Please find and correct the mistake and click Submit.

[Pib]

This should be what poster 20yearsinthai is trying to overcome on the Get My Payment where he's trying to enter his banking info.

Possibly your income is over the 95,000 USD threshold for stimulus eligibility?

yeap...that's how it worked for folks who filed a simple return using the Non-Filers tool in order to get a stimulus payment.  The "Get My Refund" would show if a return was  received/accepted, but no further status since no refund was being sent, but a stimulus payment instead.  To check stimulus payment status a person needs to use the Get My Payment webpage.

i thought they  stopped accepting direct deposit information mid-may.

 

As long as you're eligible to receive one, the IRS can still send your stimulus payment, even if you missed the cutoff to give the agency your direct deposit banking info (the deadline was May 13).

Why don't you just call the IRS and ask them directly what the issue is?    It isn't so expensive to make such a call,  is it?

That cutoff date apparently dealt for payments not sent yet. 

 

But apparently if your payment was mailed "and rejected back to the IRS" then the IRS allows entry of your bank info in an attempt to get the payment to you as your address is apparently bad.
