Have you already efiled, and it's been accepted?  If so, here's how you can check the deposit info:   You can review your refund choice by getting the full PDF of your return using the steps below.   Then if you review the page called "Federal Tax Return Summary" and a page called "Filing Instructions",  you can hopefully see how your refund is being handled.   Note:  When you open your return interview back up, do NOT make any changes in it.  If you later have to amend the return for some reason, it has to start off exactly as filed.   Sign in to TurboTax. If you're already signed in, select Tax Home. On the Tax Home or in the section Your tax returns & documents for 2025 look for a link Add a State  (you're not actually adding a state, this just opens the return back up.) When the return interview is open (do not make any changes), go to the left column menu, select Tax tools, and then select Print Center. Select Print, save or preview this year’s return. Select 2025 Federal return and then if you want the most forms Include government and TurboTax worksheets.  You can include your state return, if applicable, if you want a copy of it, too.  It's good to have for your records. Select View/Print/Download. Usually the first page in the PDF is your Federal Tax Return Summary. On that page, in the first section, you should see the bank account info you entered for your direct deposit.   Also look for the page "Filing Instructions" which may have info on how your refund is being handled. While you are in the Print Center, if you wish to do so, you can download a PDF copy of the Federal and state returns and worksheets, if desired, for your records.   See caution note below. NOTE:  Remember all PDF tax documents, printed copies, and tax data files are very sensitive files, since they contain your personal ID info, financial data, and possibly bank account numbers, etc.  Be sure to store them safely and securely to guard against computer theft, hacking, etc.

For Online TurboTax here's a navigation shortcut to enter a W-2G for gambling winnings:   Go to the left column menu and click on TAX TOOLS then subtab TOOLS. In the Tools window choose the blue button TOPIC SEARCH. In the search line enter W-2G without quotes. Make the selection in the list (it may already be highlighted), and either double-click on it or click the GO button. Next screen:  Did you win money or other prizes in 2025? Continue that interview topic.

@mystro0617  asked:  "Anyone gotten their return back?"   The literal answer to that question would be "Yes."  A number of people have received their refunds.   However, if you want to ask a question about "your" situation, then someone may comment in the forum with some thoughts or suggestions   This is a public Internet forum, so don't post any personal info.   When did you file, and was it by efile, or did you file by mail?  If efiled, was the efile accepted for processing?   If you used Online TurboTax, you can check at the Tax Home.   If you efiled, and you have confirmed it's been accepted, what do you see at the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool for the status of your Federal refund? https://www.irs.gov/wheres-my-refund

First be sure your efiled return was successfully filed and accepted by the IRS to begin processing.  You can check at the Tax Home page of your Online account.   If it was accepted for processing, then what is displayed at the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool? https://www.irs.gov/wheres-my-refund
