It seems that Turbo Tax did not put in my bank routing and account numbers when I filed my Federal taxes. I a assuming that the issue was that I was not getting a refund nor did I owe any taxes. The numbers were put on my state return, again because I am assuming, that I was entitled to a state refund. How do I correct this on my Federal return in order to get direct deposit of the stimulus payment? I am out of the country at this time and cannot return to the USA until travel restrictions are lifted....
You cannot just add direct deposit information to a filed return. The IRS would not get the banking information. The IRS is going to give taxpayers the chance to enter their own banking information. See the following:
In the coming weeks, Treasury plans to develop a web-based portal for individuals to provide their banking information to the IRS online, so that individuals can receive payments immediately as opposed to checks in the mail.
