The IRS will not make a direct deposit to a foreign bank.  They will only mail a check to the address you entered on your tax return.   You enter your address in My Info.

Thanks, so i filled my mailing address with my actual abroad address but on my payment receipt there is still the canadian address, is it correct or the check will be arrived in Canada?

If you entered your correct mailing address and see it on your Form 1040 that is the address the IRS will use.

You can check status of your tax return:

  1. Use the IRS Where's My Refund tool.  Where's My Refund?
  2. Calling the IRS at 1-800-829-1040
  3. Viewing your IRS account information.

@Giovak92_

Did you e-file?  Did you click a big orange button that said “Transmit my returns now?”

 

When you e-file your federal return you will receive two emails from TurboTax.  The first one will say that your return was submitted.  The second email will tell you if your federal return was accepted or rejected.  If you e-filed a state return, there will be a third email to tell you if the state accepted or rejected your state return.

 

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted: 

https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

If the IRS accepted it, what does it say here?  

https://www.irs.gov/refunds         

  Or does your account say “Ready to Mail?”

 

Note:  If it says “Ready to Mail” or “Printed” that means YOU have to mail it yourself.  TurboTax does not mail your tax return for you.

@ Magio92 

It looks like you posted an image that looks like it is from Intuit Canada.   In fact, you have posted it 4 times in this thread.    That is not a feature of USA Online TurboTax.

 

Are you referring to a Canada tax return?   You are posting in the USA TurboTax Community forum.

 

Here's the Canada TurboTax Community forum:
