After you file

So then these news articles are all just.... misinformed?  I'm confused as to why Turbo Tax would send the IRS two bank account numbers---the one for filer (which you're saying the IRS definitely has), and then one for the temporary accounts mentioned in the news stories which are now invalid and seen as a huge part of the problem.  The reports say that Turbo Tax (and H&R Block, and other tax prep agents) had returns sent to these accounts, their fees deducted, then the balance sent to the filer as agreed.

I wouldn't even think it was possible to send 2 accounts for one return.  You're saying these all these news reports are just wrong?
