Only your state had your bank information.

 

However according to the IRS:

 

The IRS does not have my direct deposit information. What can I do?

 

In the coming weeks, Treasury plans to develop a web-based portal for individuals to provide their banking information to the IRS online, so that individuals can receive payments immediately as opposed to checks in the mail.
