After you file

None of these situations applied to me.  I can look up the IRS website myself.  My question is that does IRS have my bank info to send my stimulus check to although I used TurboTax to file and paid my 2018 tax with a direct withdrawn from my bank (not a refund deposit) last March.  I am sure IRS processed my return last year.  "Payment Status not available" makes me think that IRS doesn't have my bank account info because I didn't get a refund and Turbo Tax didn't share my bank account with IRS.  I would prefer to receive my stimulus check as a direct deposit than a paper check.  I need the money to pay my 2019 tax.


If you have only filed the 2018 tax return with taxes owed and being paid by direct debit, then the IRS does not have your direct deposit information.

If you did not receive your refund by direct deposit based on your 2019 tax return (or 2018 tax return if you haven’t filed your 2019 tax return), you have the opportunity to provide bank account information through the IRS Get My Payment tool before your Payment is processed. Direct deposit is the fastest way to receive your Payment.
