There is no official approval or confirmation of any $2,000 IRS direct deposit payment being distributed in October or November 2025. Recent social media rumors claiming that new federal stimulus checks or relief payments — including amounts like $1,390, $1,702, or $2,000 — are being sent by the IRS have been debunked by both the IRS and other verified government sources.
Currently, no federal law, stimulus program, or relief bill authorizes any such payment. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has publicly warned taxpayers to remain cautious about phishing scams or fraudulent posts that use these false claims to obtain personal or banking information.
IRS Statement and Public Advisory
The IRS has clearly stated that it does not contact taxpayers through social media, text messages, or unsolicited emails to request payment information. Any message, post, or email promising a new federal stimulus payment should be regarded as fraudulent unless confirmed directly through the official IRS.gov website or verified government channels.
Although certain proposals — such as the American Worker Rebate Act — have been discussed in Congress, no funds have been approved, and no payment schedule has been announced for any new stimulus or rebate payments in 2025.
