IRS "portal" for stimulus checks?

[Aneeda72]

For anyone who's used the "Get My Payment" portal and successfully got into it, can you please advise on how you entered your address in the security questions section?

Specifically, I wasn't able to figure out whether to type ST or ST. or STREET, nor whether to type APT or APT. or # before the apartment number.
The way these are on my tax returns aren't the same as on notices I receive from the IRS. So I ended up getting locked out and can't try again til this evening, and want to do it right this time.

I think it’s useless anyway, there are a lot of problems with get my payment and, lol, I haven’t gotten mine. I read yesterday is you get social security and/or VA benefits get my payment won’t work for you. We get both, and get my payment does not work for us.

Didn't work for me today either so I set my bank account to alert me via email and text when it hits.....

Some tips for anyone still struggling with that stupid portal:

It SAYS to type address the way it is on your tax return. Didn't work. So, without using capital letters, I typed it the way it was on my most recent tax bill- and that worked.
Spell out the word Street.
No extra spaces between Street and Apt
No period after Apt
And even though it says to use a # before apartment number, don't.

Example:
222 Main Street Apt 4

I hope this might save some of you guys a lot of time and aggravation.

I took a leap of faith today, I spent 700 dollars of the stimulus payment that I don’t have for rocks for the yard and dog run. Hope the money comes before the cc bill.
