As per this weeks NATP TaxPro:

Economic Recovery Payment Look Up Tool

In last week’s issue of the TAXPRO Weekly (March 11, 2010) NATP provided you information on a new tool the IRS created for taxpayers to determine whether they received an Economic Recovery Payment. The IRS has extended that service to tax preparers to look up that information on behalf of their clients. The service is available by calling 866.234.2942 to access the phone application. Tax preparers can also access the tool online on the IRS

The preparer will have to enter the taxpayer’s SSN, date of birth, and zip code from the last filed return. Only one payment per taxpayer can be accessed at a time.

Thanks jklcpa, the 2nd one should be correct. That's what I get for having too many IRS tabs open at the same time.
