I simply cannot get it to recognize my data. The logical method, of typing name and address exactly as they appear on my 2018 return, does not work. Nor does all caps, nor the various permutations (Ave, AVE, Ave., AVE., Avenue, etc.). You only get three tries per day, but I think I’ve exhausted all the permutations. No help on the FAQ page, and no way to contact them. The IRS is always fun!
Try putting in your address on this web site:
https://tools.usps.com/zip-code-lookup.htm?byaddress
And then go back to the IRS web site and try putting in the address the USPS web site gave you.
I can’t—I’m in Canada. I suspect that’s more than half the problem. The site SAYS “ZIP or postal code,” but I suspect it means “if you don’t have a ZIP code, you’re SOL, you unAmerican traitor, you.”
Oops. I didn’t look at your location. Sorry.
No worries: it’s a good suggestion!
On the screen where you enter your SSN, DOB, address, etc., next to ZIP code, it says:
<shrug> Have you tried leaving that line blank?
What worked for me was to look at any piece of official Federal mail. Their version of my correct address is there. And as noted above, “Ave.” is not “Ave”. Nonetheless, shat hath the Eagle, verily and hallelujah. (“Ka-ching” works for coin, what kind of noise does a direct deposit make?)

Yesterday’s numbers for comparison:
I have 743 things in my living room/kitchen that beep for one reason or another (never mind the horrifying noises that arise in the rest of the house). Every goddam thing beeps. I cannot remember anymore the days that went by without incessant pointless beeping.
So, yeah, “beep”.
Why would you get a stimulus check if you are Canadian?
Here is a report of transmission via a restaurant:
If you think hard about this question, the answer will come to you.
He’s an American citizen living in Canada, paying US taxes because he’s an American citizen? Just a guess…
Citizenship is not a prerequisite for the stimulus cheques. Generally speaking, what counts is whether you were a US resident who filed a US tax return for 2018 or 2019. So many people who are or were resident aliens will get the cheques, even if they’ve since left the country.
Canadian who worked in the US.
Canadian who is married to an American citizen.
Canadian who is married to a Resident Alien who worked in the US.
Non-Canadian and Non-US citizen who worked in the US and is now a Landed Alien in Canada.
Non-Canadian and Non-US citizen who worked in the US and is now married to a Landed Alien in Canada.
Those are just off the top of my head, DrDeth, and it took longer to type that than it did for those categories to appear on the top of my head.

^I thought my post indicated those folks were resident alien during the time of qualification. Sorry, it didn’t. Thanks for the clarification, especially with posting the info link to the gov.
I’m sure he’ll put his money where his mouth is, don a rubber apron, hairnet, and mask, and put in an eight hour shift at the plant.
It’s not clear if there is a specific “time of qualification” or if they just go by the latest info they have. If you were a resident alien in 2019, but moved away and filed a 2019 tax return from a non-US address, would they take that as an indication that you are no longer a resident alien?
For income, they just went with the most recent tax return they had. In our (my wife’s and mine) case, in 2019 our income was too high to qualify for the stimulus. And we’d already filed our 2019 return in early April. But if we’d delayed filing the 2019 return, the IRS would have used the 2018 return and we’d have received a payment.
Like I said: it’s not over. In “too much too soon” news: Surf’s down in California: Governor will close beaches
In “wait… what?” news:
Sure: flea markets sound like places where people can & will keep their distance from each other. Summer camps, too. :rolleyes:
