To put it another way: the issue is that the IRS DOES have my direct deposit information on file; it's just incorrect, outdated information from the old bank account I closed... that's why I'm trying to use the TurboTax portal to update it, and am hoping I can figure out why I keep getting an error message and where the Review tab is.
That is the purpose of the forthcoming IRS portal, *not* the TurboTax portal. The TurboTax portal is for those who (a) did NOT file for 2018 or 2019, (b) were NOT required to file for 2018 or 2019, *and* (c) do NOT receive Social Security or railroad retirement. THOSE people will have to file something with the IRS to get a stimulus check at all.
If you DID file for either 2018 or 2019, the IRS will use the most recent DD info it has to send you the money. If that's not valid, the money will be returned to the IRS and you will go in the paper check line with all those who filed but didn't provide DD info. At THAT point (by the latest), you should be able to provide your updated DD info thru the IRS portal; then you can get out of line and get your direct deposit.
