I filed my taxes for 2019 to recieve my stimulus payment and haven’t heard anything?

My daughter did her taxes on turbo tax and was trying to see if my stimulus check could just go to her turbo tax card?

the IRS uses the direct deposit info on YOUR 2019 return.  no deposit info on return, the IRS mails a check to the address on your '19 return

Here is what the IRS says:

 

If you received direct deposit of your refund based on your 2019 tax return (or 2018 tax return if you haven’t filed your 2019 tax return), the IRS has sent your Payment to the bank account provided on the most recent tax return. If you filed a Form 8888, Allocation of Refund, with your tax return to split your refund into multiple accounts, your Payment was deposited to the first bank account listed. You cannot change your account information.

 

If you filed your 2019 or 2018 tax return but did not receive your refund by direct deposit, your Payment will be mailed to the address we have on file even if you also receive Social Security, Railroad Retirement or Veterans Affairs benefits by direct deposit. This is generally the address on your most recent tax return or as updated through the United States Postal Service (USPS).

 

If the account is closed or no longer active, the bank will return the deposit and you will be issued a check or, for a smaller group, a prepaid debit card that will be mailed to the address we have on file for you.

 

This is generally the address on your most recent tax return or as updated through the United States Postal Service (USPS). You do not need to call the IRS to change your Payment method or update your address at this time.  If you receive a debit card and have any questions regarding how to use the card please go to EIPcard.com for more information.

 

As required by law and for security reasons, a letter about the Payment will be mailed to each recipient’s last known address within 15 days after the Payment is made. The letter will provide information on how the Payment was made  and how to report any failure to receive the Payment.
