When it comes down to where IRS actually sends the check, we don't know their priority of the options on the list of direct deposit accounts.
IRS continues to say that if the recipient already gets social security checks direct deposited, etc. that they will use that information. We have no way of know what they are going to do.
Here is information from IRS regarding the direct deposit of the Third Stimulus Check
The IRS has indicated they’re using the latest taxpayer information they have on file to issue the third stimulus payment. That means they are sending your stimulus payment to one of the following:
- Bank account information from the direct deposit of your 2019 or 2020 tax refund,
- Bank account information you entered on your non-filer registration in 2020,
- Bank account information you entered on Get My Payment before December 22, 2020, or
- Banking information used by a federal agency that provides you benefits such as the Social Security Administration, Veteran Affairs, or the Railroad Retirement Board.
Here is the link to "Get My Refund" for tracking the third stimulus check:
