Whoever you talked to at the IRS had no clue what they were talking about and just made it up.
TurboTax receives no information about your stimulus. The IRS sends it to the account that they have in *their* file. If you had direct deposit then the IRS uses the records that the IRS has on file and if the direct deposit fails then they mail the check to your address of record. In no way whatsoever is TurboTax involved in this.
