Congratulations !!

Just checked with my son and he also sees it in his US account.  Because of a Roth conversion our income is too high to qualify, which is fine, no complaints.

Congrats. Last time it took a few months and a few phone calls to the IRS to finally get my check deposited. Between not being able to add my bank information on the get my payment site and the IRS messing up my address, it took a while to get my stimulus money. Had hoped that my banking information was now listed with the IRS, but nothing yet. Hope it's not going to be another few weeks or months before I get my second stimulus check. With the Get My Payment site down till next week, might not have an idea of what is going on till at least next week.
Good to see that at least other people are already getting their checks without any issues.

Are you self employed?  It’s not that hard once you crack the code. It’s a bit like an escape room puzzle. ;D

Nope!! Not self employed! Every year it just seems like there’s some ‘catch’ so I just rely on the accountant my parents have had my whole life! He knows the financial situation inside and out (long term investments/ trust fund etc... but not huge amounts or anything).

I’m just happy I’m ahead this year!! Don’t want to be dealing things near my due date in April.

Ah, I see.  If you were straight forward I’d teach you!  Sounds a bit more complex.

Stupid question, but do you get it the same way as Stimulus 1.0? 

(e.g. if you received a physical check by post in the UK for the first stimulus, should you be expecting another physical check in the post for this one?)

. Genuinely no idea. For me, both were direct deposit in my USA account.
