Hello, All - I read this entire thread and have seen similar questions to what I'm about to ask myself, but have yet to see an actual answer, so I'm hoping that someone can provide some certainty here:
For the past several years, I've filed using TurboTax and have always opted to receive both my State & Federal refunds via direct deposit, as well as to have my TurboTax fees deducted from my Federal refund. As such, my State refund is always deposited directly by New York State, but my Federal refund has always been deposited by TurboTax's processor so that they can first deduct their fee. When I receive my refunds, the processor appears on my bank statement as "Tax products pe3 sbtpg llc." So, from what I understand, the IRS issues my Federal refund to TurboTax's processor, the processor takes the fee, then deposits the remainder to my account.
So, the BIG question here is: Does the IRS actually even have my direct deposit information on file to issue a Stimulus, since they're sending my refunds to this processor instead of directly to my account? Thank you.
