Get your taxes done using TurboTax
If you are eligible, you should get your second stimulus payment, but it may be mailed to check as a check or debit card.
The IRS says in a Press Release:
How will the IRS know where to send my payment? What if I changed bank accounts?
The IRS will use the data already in our systems to send the new payments. Taxpayers with direct deposit information on file will receive the payment that way. For those without current direct deposit information on file, they will receive the payment as a check or debit card in the mail. For those eligible but who don’t receive the payment for any reason, it can be claimed by filing a 2020 tax return in 2021. Remember, the Economic Impact Payments are an advance payment of what will be called the Recovery Rebate Credit on the 2020 Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR.
Note that when the IRS sends a direct deposit to a bank that cannot be honored (as in your case), it is the normal procedure that the bank returns the direct deposit as undeliverable, after which the IRS will mail the check or debit card to your last known address (on your 2019 tax return).
