Stimulus check

I filed 2018 taxes using Turbo Tax and have not filed my 2019 yet but per IRS guidelines, I qualify for a partial amount of the $1,2000 stimulus check. However, I have yet to receive it and Get My Payment keeps saying payment status not available. I owed in 2018 and used my bank account to pay for it via Turbo Tax but I read that there are some issues with TurboTax and IRS for the stimulus check. Does anyone know?

If you owed federal income taxes on your 2018 tax return, then the IRS does not have a direct deposit account for your name and Social Security number.  The stimulus payment will be sent to you by the IRS as a check in the mail to the address entered on the 2018 tax return, if you are eligible for the stimulus payment.
