Looking for the stimulus check IRS phone number? Yes, you can call the IRS for help with your third stimulus check payment. A representative might be able to questions that can't be answered through its website.
The IRS's dedicated stimulus check website is a good resource if you're wondering where your stimulus check is, if you're eligible or how much you should get. But if your question is more specific, or you have trouble navigating the available online tools, there's a phone number you can call for help.

The IRS hotline isn't equipped to handle an exorbitant amount of inquires. Rather, people are encouraged to seek answers using the economic impact payment Information Center.
The IRS has an app for tracking the status of your stimulus check called Get My Payment. When you enter a bit of personal information, you can find out whether the government has sent your check. If it has, consider using the USPS Informed Delivery tool to receive notifications about where your payment is in transit.
For other logistical questions, the IRS's hotline is at your disposal. Keep in mind that an automated recording will attempt to help you before you're connected with an actual representative, so have your questions and basic personal information ready.
Stimulus check IRS phone number: Where to call
The IRS Economic Impact Payment phone number is 800-919-9835. You can call to speak with a live representative about your stimulus check.
Be prepared to sit on hold, though. If the automated responses can't answer your questions and you'd like to talk to a live operator, you may join a long waiting list. Some people say they haven't even been able to get through.
That's why the IRS recommends using its dedicated stimulus check portal for fast assistance. It also reminds those who are eligible for a stimulus check but aren't required to file a tax return to use the Non-Filers tool to register for their payment.
