The Federal and state are similar to two different business entities. One has nothing to do with the other in terms of refunds or balance due.

The IRS will process your return and the stimulus check using the direct deposit information on your tax return.

Since you filed your return you will get a stimulus check.  You will get it as DDeposit if that's what was on your return. 

 

If you have your tax return it is listed on page 2 of your 1040 on lines 21 b & c

It is also noted at the top of the filing Instructions.

 

Otherwise, you will get a check.

So for example I send my tax return off on the 27 of March and On my where’s my refund it’s not showing but just because it’s not showing nothing doesn’t mean they do not have my information far as direct deposit for my stimulus pay

If you filed a paper return, you should allow 4 weeks before checking the status. Refund processing time is 6 to 8 weeks from the date the IRS receives your tax return.  Stimulus checks are not scheduled to mailed out until well after your return should be process, so you should receive your payment by direct deposit.
