Did you have your TurboTax fees deducted from your Federal refund?  If you did, then the only direct deposit information the IRS had was for the bank that handled the transaction.  You will be issued a check in the mail for your stimulus money once that bank bounces your stimulus money back to the IRS,  since the IRS did not have your direct deposit information for you bank.
