After you file

If you didn't receive an advance/fees taken out, it's highly likely you were in the first wave regardless. Most of those people that didn't receive a DD (despite the system initially saying they would) received a check the next (earlier this) week. That seems to have been a general rule, although there are obvious exceptions.

I have no idea how credible of a source that Washington Post article will turn out to be/not to be. But it's pretty much the only real schedule anyone has offered; and based upon the first people who put used TurboTax, put their information in the system for DD, and received a check anyway, then I'd assume most will eventually receive a check instead of direct deposit.
