After you file

@PbInspector 

 

the question:

 

how do I  establish a direct deposit for the stimulus check if I have to pay taxes again for 2019? 

 

the answer: 

 

go to the IRS website and update your bank information.  AGI is line 7 on your 2018 return Refund is line 20a for 2018

 

https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/economic-impact-payments

 

the fact that you have not submitted 2019 tax return yet is immaterial to updating your bank information or getting the stimulus payment because you filed for 2018.

 

does that answer the question>?
