None of those are applicable. I've had the same bank account linked to TurboTax for years. 1st and 2nd stimulus deposits went smooth. This is either fraud, IRS blunder, or TurboTax. Since the IRS gets their info from TurboTax, I have to assume fraud or a failure of TurboTax. I'm trying to reach the IRS (nightmare) and TurboTax expects me to pay for customer service.

Ended up bein a problem with my bank. They closed the account the deposit was supposed to go to without my knowledge. Per their protocol they were supposed to divert to another active account but they failed to do that for unknown reasons. TurboTax had it right, my bank **bleep**ed up. At least I know it wasn't fraud.
