The Third Stimulus Payment will be sent directly to you, not through TurboTax.

If your 2020 return has been Accepted, the IRS should use the bank info you gave on your 2020 return to send the third stimulus payment.

I also filed 02/25 and I still have not received my return even though both have been accepted, would you know why?

You can check the status of your refund directly on the IRS website. Here is the link: https://www.irs.gov/refunds

Here is a TurboTax article with more information about refunds.

You can find out your tax return's status in the following ways:

You can use the IRS Where's My Refund tool.
You can try calling the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 but the wait times may be quite long.
You can view your IRS tax account.

Payment Status Not Available on the IRS Get My Payment tool means that the:

The IRS has not yet processed your payment, or
You are not eligible for a payment.

This TurboTax Help states:

Do I need to do anything to get my stimulus check?

You don’t need to do anything to get your stimulus check. The IRS will determine eligibility based on your last tax return (either 2019 or 2020) and will likely send your payment to the bank account where your tax refund was deposited.

The IRS says that the only way to update your mailing address and banking information is by filing your 2020 Federal 1040 tax return. The IRS is making no portal available.

If your 2020 Federal 1040 tax return was accepted, we do not know whether the IRS will issue a third stimulus payment using 2019 tax information or 2020 tax information.
