Coronavirus Stimulus Payment

Forum|Forum|6 years ago

The news reports say that payments will be made via direct deposit. I usually have TurboTax subtract my fee from my federal tax refund. I believe this is processed by Santa Barbara Tax Products Group. I believe my refund comes from SBTPG rather than directly from the IRS. So I am not sure the IRS has my direct deposit information on file. Will I sill be able to get my stimulus payment through direct deposit?

Yes. any intermediary bank merely temporarily hold the money to deduct fees. The balance is forwarded to your bank account.

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control. TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount (line 35a of your 2021 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901548-why-do-some-refunds-take-longer-than-others

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

OR——if you filed by mail, expect a long wait. It is taking the very backlogged IRS six to nine months to process mailed returns. Until a human opens your envelope and enters the data into the system, nothing will even show up on the refund site, so you will have to be very patient.

FYI ALL .... THERE IS NO INSTRUCTIONS YET ... EVEN MY PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM HAS NOTHING YET ... PATIENCE WILL BE NEEDED.

THE STIMULUS CHECKS WILL NOT START GOING OUT FOR 3 WEEKS OR MORE AND THEY WILL NOT ALL GO OUT ON DAY ONE ... IT TOOK MONTHS TO GET THEM OUT LAST TIME.

WORD TO THE WISE ... DON'T EXPECT THE MONEY ON ANY CERTAIN DATE AND YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

If you look at your 1040 even if you had turbotax deduct your fees it should have your banks direct deposit information on it. So the people that had fees deducted should be just fine.

if yo filed a 2018 or 2019 return, you will receive a stimulus check if you qualify. Please visit the IRS Coronavirus website for more details.

If you didn’t receive a third Economic Impact Payment (stimulus) or got less than the full amount, you may be eligible to claim a Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2021 federal tax return.

In TurboTax,The Recovery Rebate Credit will be found in the Federal Review section.

To claim the Credit:

1. Enter all your federal return information as you would normally

2. During the Federal Review, we’ll check if you meet the requirements for the stimulus payment

3. If you meet the requirements, you'll see the Did you get a third stimulus? screen

4. Answer a few questions about any payments you've already received and then we'll let you know if the Recovery Rebate Credit applies

Missing first and second payments may only be claimed on a 2020 tax return.
