Based on what you said, I expect you chose to Pay With Your Refund.

Here is the process

The IRS will issue a payment of the refund
It will go to a processing bank
The bank will pay the TurboTax fees, and a processing fee for the bank.
The balance will be electronically transferred to your account.
If for some reason it is not accepted, it will go back to the first bank.
They will send it back to the IRS.
The IRS will send a paper check to the address you have on your tax return.

Let me refine this, I did put in for direct deposit, however a check was mailed per irs website on the 27th. A. Why they just decide send a check and how does it work if I owe TurboTax? B. How am I suppose to give high marks if every step of way has been inconvience? Crazy and unacceptable.

The IRS most likely sent a check instead of a direct deposit because your financial institution rejected the deposit, you provided incorrect banking information, or the account name didn't match the name on your tax return.

You can contact your bank to confirm if they have rejected a direct deposit attempt.

The IRS will usually send a Notice CP53D to explain why this happened.
