This is a public user forum not TT support.
When you choose the option to pay the
TurboTax fees out of the Federal refund that is handled by a third-party
company called SBTPG (Santa Barbara Tax Products Group). SBTPG
receives your refund from the IRS at one of their 2 banks--Sunrise Banks of St.
Paul, MN, or Citizens/Civista Banking Co. of Sandusky, OH. That bank sets
up a temporary account (which is why the DD account number on your tax return seems wrong) for you to receive the refund, and then takes out the
TurboTax fees. It then sends the remainder on to your bank account in a
second direct deposit. If that deposit fails, the intermediary bank will
mail you a check.
You can check on the status of your
refund at SBTPG by logging into their website at:
