My account is open. Where is the $1,000?
An open account is not confirmation of a $1,000 payment. First check eligibility, then whether you elected the pilot contribution on Form 4547. Claiming the account lets you see its history. Seedlist cannot see your account or confirm a deposit date.
Different account states, not a required order. Some donor deposits can arrive before you claim the account.
What to do next
- 01
Check the birth-year, citizenship and Social Security number rules.
- 02
Check your election confirmation or IRS notice. If you already elected the contribution, the IRS says you do not need to elect it again.
- 03
Look at the claimed account’s transaction history. If a request or deposit is unresolved, use the official Help Center.
We have not established a universal processing deadline. An empty balance alone does not tell us whether an election was received.
