Can't enter direct deposit information because I'm not owed a refund! Help?

dkt27 — Sun, 07 Mar 2021 03:27:59 GMT

I had to wait months (I live abroad) to get my last two stimulus checks. I'd like to get direct deposit this time around.

The problem is that I owe taxes. I have an obligation to pay, but I am not owed a refund. Thus, there's no section in my TurboTax free file for me to input my direct deposit information.

What can I do to get the IRS my direct deposit information?

If I opt to pay my taxes by transferring from my checking account, would that suffice?

Many thanks!

Yes, it will do what you want.

So doing that will help me get the $1,400 stimulus check?

The IRS will send the $1400 to the bank info they have.
