Did you choose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund?
REFUND PROCESSING FEE
If you chose to have your fees deducted from your federal refund, but entered wrong or closed bank account information for your direct deposit, you are going to have an aggravating, frustrating situation. Your refund will go back to the third party bank. The third party bank might issue and mail you a check, or they might send your refund back to the IRS and then you will have to wait for the IRS to mail you a check.
If the third party bank mails the check, it will come in a plain envelope via first class mail so make sure you open all mail and do not assume anything is junk mail without opening it. While you are waiting, make sure that the address you entered on your tax return is correct, or your problem will be even worse.
When you choose “refund processing” your refund goes FIRST from the IRS to to the third party bank. Then the bank takes your fees out of your refund and sends the rest of the refund to you.
