Does the stimulus come to turbo tax first?

The first time the stimulus came, everything went fairly smoothly. Now, when I check on the status of my stimulus payment, it shows that my information is not available. I know with tax refunds, the money goes to a third party bank Turbo Tax uses to collect the Filing Fees, if that’s the payment method you choose. Are they simply doing that this time too?

TurboTax did NOT receive your stimulus check.  TurboTax has NO control over your stimulus check, nor can TT track it or tell you when you will receive it.  The IRS will use the same banking information for the 2nd stimulus that they used for the first one.  If that account (or card) is closed then the stimulus will go back to the IRS and they will mail you a check.
