I did not owe any taxes for 2020. So, my Refund Deposit Account is blank on my Tax Return for 2020. How does the IRS know where to deposit my stimulus check electronically if it is not printed on my tax return?

When you prepared your tax return you could have entered banking information in the FILE section before you e-filed. If you did not do that then the IRS will mail a check to the address on your tax return.

You are incorrect. I did enter my Direct Deposit Account in Turbotax, before I filed it, and Turbotax ignored my entry, or did not show it on the printed tax return. So, is Turbotax going to fix it this bug?

You would have only entered your bank info if you had a refund. It might print xxx on your return for privacy but the actual numbers gets sent when you efile. If you don't have a refund on your tax return then the IRS won't get the direct deposit info for any stimulus payments.
