Another Stimuls Check Question - Tax was paid from parent's checking account.

[rkrkrkCA]

Adult taxpayer (NOT claimed as anyone else's dependent) with no checking account.  They owed tax on 2018 return, so their parents wrote a check to the IRS for the tax , sent in with the return (paid them back). So presumably, the IRS has a checking account number associated with that tax-payer's return, but it is NOT that taxpayer's bank account.  Tax-payer qualifies for the full stimulus check amount, but will that get deposited into the parent's checking account since that's the account associated with the return? (OR - since the tax-payer's name is not on the check, perhaps IRS will figure out that it's not the right person??)

Based on the information that we currently have available to us, the IRS is not using accounts listed for tax payments to deposit stimulus checks.  

However, this situation is still quite fluid and the information is changing rapidly so there is really no definite answer to this question available at this time.
