After you file

Santa Barbara Bank is not because of your location, this is the bank that handles taking the fees for Turbo Tax out of your return. 

 

The IRS will send your refund to Santa Barbara, they will deduct the fees, then they will deposit the remaining amount of your refund to your bank account. 

 

The website I provided was to track your return with Santa Barbara once the IRS provided you a date they are direct depositing the refund.
