Is my direct deposit number and account number the same?

[NicolleR1]

For direct deposit, you should have a routing and account number listed. These 2 numbers are different. However, if you chose to have your TurboTax fees paid from your refund, you might see a third-party bank listed (which is not the same as yours). This third bank is the one that takes care of the split transaction between your refund and TurboTax fees.

[Mike9241]

for direct deposit, two items are needed 

1) the bank routing number (BRN) which is always 9 digits in US 

2) your account number 

There is virtually no possibility that these two numbers are the same. 

if you have a check the BRN is at the bottom to the far left. the account number would be n the center or on the right

if you can't find the BRN call them. 

a bad BRN or account number would result in the DD being rejected and sent back to the IRS to mail you a paper check.
