@nnaga When you e-filed your federal tax return with a federal tax refund and selected Direct Deposit into your bank account, then the bank routing and account number you entered were sent with the federal tax return. When the IRS received your tax return, the Direct Deposit information was available for the IRS to deposit the federal tax refund into the bank account you designated.
This procedure for providing direct deposit information to the IRS is exactly the same for every tax year since e-filing began over twenty years ago.
Unless you requested to have your TurboTax account fees deducted from the federal tax refund, then there will be an issue on how you received your stimulus payment. Did you request to have the fees paid from the federal tax refund?
