I was audited in 2013 and unfortunately pay the irs my tax refund every year. I do my taxes and my bank account is linked. Will I get the stimulus check direct Deposited?

The IRS has not answered this question directly.  

 

They have said this:

 

"The economic impact payment will be deposited directly into the same banking account reflected on the return filed."  Economic impact payments: What you need to know

 

This could be interpreted to mean they will use bank account information from your return to make a deposit, even if it direct debit information.

 

In the coming weeks, the IRS 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.
