GLITCHES PREVENT STIMULUS CHECKS FROM REACHING MILLIONS OF AMERICANS
Why? If a taxpayer received an advance or fee collect, the IRS does NOT have their bank information, but rather the companies banking information. These companies receive the refunds and then disburse to the taxpayer. Over 21 Million taxpayers are affected by this.
