Stimulus Check - Direct Deposit - 2019 vs. 2018

[JMW1]

I filed my 2019 taxes already. Because I was not due to receive a refund, I did not provide Direct Deposit info on this return. 

Now, when I filed my 2018 taxes, I used Turbo Tax online and was given a refund. I gave my Direct Deposit info to Turbo Tax using the online filing system this way. The refund went to Turbo Tax first to pay for my software/filing fees, then I received a deposit for my federal and state refunds. 

Now, would the IRS have my Direct Deposit info on file for the stimulus or not? My bank information has not changed since filing my 2018 taxes. The reason I ask is because I do not know if the giving the Direct Deposit info to Turbo Tax results in this info being passed to the IRS.

The IRS will use your 2019 information for your stimulus check. They use 2018 only if they do not have 2019 information. If you want to get the stimulus check direct-deposited, see the following link or wait until the IRS sets up its own portal.

It doesn't look like that link you posted has any way for me to add direct deposit information to my 2019 tax return. As I mentioned, I already filed my 2019 taxes, and the return was accepted by the IRS.

If you have filed a 2019 tax return and need to change or add your direct deposit information, see this IRS website - https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/economic-impact-payments-what-you-need-to-know
The IRS does not have my direct deposit information. What can I do?
In the coming weeks, Treasury 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.

The Internal Revenue Service unveiled a new website Friday where people who don’t normally file tax returns can enter bank account information so they can receive coronavirus payments.

The new site is on IRS.gov. There’s a big blue button that says “Non Filers: Enter Payment Info Here.”
