Our direct deposit information was listed on 2018 taxes but not on 2019 because we were not getting a refund so will we still get our stimulus direct deposited this year?

since the information was not on the 2019.  Or will we get a check because of that?

You may get a direct deposit, but since you haven't received it yet probably not. 

 

If you don't receive your payment by the time you file your tax return for this year, you can apply for it then.

 

When you prepare your tax return for 2020 in TurboTax, you will be prompted to enter how much you received for your stimulus and then the program will calculate the amount of stimulus due you based on your income, number of dependents and payments already received. If any additional stimulus is due you, it will be used to reduce your 2020 income tax liability, and the balance will be refunded to you.

 

You will see the options when you are done entering your tax information and proceed to the review process.

 

You can file a tax return in 2020 to get your stimulus check, even if you aren't required to otherwise.
