sort of strange because your name should have been on the direct deposit refund and most financial institutions don't allow such a deposit unless your name is on the account. Did you use a Turbotax rep to prepare your return and how do you know it was deposited in their account?

@vickiej156    Please clarify how your direct deposit got put in the wrong account. The previous replies, from DoninGA and xmasbaby0, assume that you entered the wrong account number when you filed your tax return. Is that what happened? If so, see the previous replies. If not, what did happen that caused your direct deposit to go to the wrong account? How do you know that it was put in the wrong account? Did you use the option to have your TurboTax fees paid from your refund?

You can no longer use TurboTax Online to file for 2023. TurboTax Online is only for the current tax year, which is now 2024. To file for 2023 you have to use the desktop TurboTax software for 2023. You can purchase a download at the following link. There is no free filing for past years. Past Years' Products The desktop TurboTax software can only be used on a Windows or Mac computer, not on a mobile device or a Chromebook. Tax returns for past years cannot be e-filed. You will have to print your 2023 tax return, sign it, and file it by mail. When you file by mail you have to attach copies of your W-2s and any W-2G or 1099-R that has tax withheld. We suggest that you mail it by certified mail with a return receipt so that you get tracking and confirmation of delivery. Mail your federal and state tax returns in separate envelopes, because they go to different places. Follow the filing instructions that TurboTax prints.  

Here's how you can enter "other income" on Schedule 1 line 8z in TurboTax with a description that you enter. Go to Federal Taxes > Wages & Income.

Click the Start or Update button for the last topic, "Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C." On the next screen, "Let's Work on Any Miscellaneous Income," scroll down and click the Start or Update button for the last topic, "Other reportable income." The next screen asks, "Any Other Taxable Income?" Click Yes. On the next screen, "Other Taxable Income," enter a short description and enter the amount. Click Continue. On the next screen click Done.  

Microsoft is not charging to upgrade from a licensed Windows 10 PC to Windows 11 is FREE from Microsoft, provided your PC meets the minimum hardware requirements and is running the latest version of Windows 10. You can check your PC's eligibility by going to Settings and selecting "Check for updates". If your device is ready, you'll see an option to download and install the Windows 11 upgrade.  For the 2025 tax year, TurboTax Desktop will require Windows 11 because Microsoft is ending support for the Windows 10 operating system in October 2025. Intuit, the developer of TurboTax, cites security as a top priority for ending support for the older operating system. Intuit notified customers of the change by email and on its support website, stating the following:  Microsoft's end of support: On October 14, 2025, Microsoft will stop providing free software updates, security patches, and technical support for Windows 10. Security risks: Intuit says it will no longer support an operating system that doesn't receive security updates from its manufacturer. Compatibility with Windows 11: The 2025 version of TurboTax Desktop will only be compatible with the 64-bit version of Windows 11.
