Are all turbo tax filers affected by the irs account discrepancy? And are all turbo tax filers now having to receive a paper check?

CBS reported that H&R users are having similar problems.  the issue seems to be with the IRS not the app you used.

All big tax preparation services offer a payment choice.

 

If you paid for your tax preparation when you did your taxes, the stimulus will deposit the same as your refund.

If you had your tax preparation fees taken out of your refund, then you opted to have SBTPG as an intermediary. The bank, SBTPG, charged you an additional fee to take out TurboTax fees, receive your refund, and deposit it into your account or give you a debit card.

 If your federal refund went to SBTPG, they could get the economic impact payment as well and it could then be routed to you which caused a short delay.
