I filed my 2018 taxes and got a refund via direct deposit. I filed my 2019 taxes and owed. My question is the stimulus check, would it be direct deposited since they do have it on file from 2018 or ma

Or mailed since I wasn’t due a refund this year.

Since you filed a 2018 federal tax return with a tax refund and direct deposit for the refund, then the IRS has your bank information for the stimulus.

Even though it was done through turbo tax? Only confirming because I had the cost to file deducted from my refund so it was actually sent by Santa Barbara bank so they could deduct their fees.

I had the IDENTICAL situation I was just about to ask about.  Thanks for the response.

Now that the IRS website to check on the status of stimulus checks is up, this turned out to not be the case.  I had to log on to the IRS website and enter my direct deposit information even though it was on my 2018 return.
