@bisree The IRS uses the Social Security information for a direct deposit of an Economic Impact Payment.

If you do not have a federal tax refund or owe taxes, no bank information is entered on your federal tax return.

TurboTax has no involvement whatsoever on how you received your Social Security benefits or an Economic Impact Payment.

Go to this IRS website for information as a SS recipient - https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/economic-impact-payment-information-center-topic-h-social-security-railroad-retirement-and-department-of-veteran-affairs-benefit-recipients

first REREAD my post I NEVER said turbo tax was "involved" in my ssi direct deposit THANK GOD they aren't it is BECAUSE of turbo tax though that I am NOT receiving stimulus via direct deposit I have already checked into WHERE the irs got the info they continue to use for my stimulus checks I SHOULD NOT have to wait on checks or deal with postal screw ups because I don't owe federal taxes and get a return I DO pay state since you know so much WHY isn't that info for my banking the same and used ? BOTH are filed at the same time with the SAME info and thank you but I don't need snarky replies all I wanted to do was get my DIRECT DEPOSIT info put into the system and NOT have to wait on checks that don't arrive my neighbors DO NOT give my mail to me
