I have e-filed my 2019 state and federal tax returns. I ended up owing money on my federal returns and my state NC owed me a return. I provided my account number and routing number along with my tax returns. The IRS (federal) used my information to electronically withdraw the amount that I owed in federal taxes (it was only $5). 

My question is, if they were able to use my banking information to take money out of my account, can they use it to deposit the stimulus money into my account? I read on Turbo Tax's site that if you owed money to the IRS, they would have to mail you a check instead of direct depositing the stimulus money.

If your banking information was on your 2019 tax return, the IRS will use that information to direct deposit your stimulus payment.  See the "How will the IRS know where to send my payment" question and response at this link.
