The same exact thing happened to me!! I went and looked at my return and have no idea what they pulled for my banking information. I've been doing my taxes with TurboTax for the last 5 years, and I have never had to change my direct deposit information. Great. How do I get my refund now?!? It's been deposited into this random account.
Did you have any TurboTax fees that you chose to pay out of your Federal refund? If so, your funds go from the IRS to a temporary account set up at an intermediary bank. The intermediary bank deducts the fees, then sends the rest to your bank (or card) in a second direct deposit. If you used that service to pay your TurboTax fees, we can tell you more about how to check on it at the level of the intermediary company (SBTPG) that administers that.
Has the IRS released your refund yet?
