My stimulus check was deposited to the wrong account I’ve tried to get in contact with a few people with no help what do I do

Yes I have been dealing with this issue and the IRS since March 11 2021. They have done traces with no results but I also called Chase and they identified that the deposits were made by Turbo tax into the incorrect bank account and into an account that is not mine or identified or associated with me in any way! I do not even have a Chase account.

 

Turbo tax is at fault and it has been 9 months talking with the IRS and all fingers point to Turbo Tax and we need to get some results!!

Once again TurboTax/Intuit  NEVER  touches  any money from the IRS EVER EVER EVER  so they cannot help with your refund/stimulus situation even if they could.  You need to verify the account number used on the return to confirm what you entered ... the  program cannot enter this information for you.   If you used a third party processing bank then they set up a temporary account at the bank to receive the funds and forward them as directed.  

 

Once your return has been accepted (received) by the government, they take over the refund status update duties, since they hold the purse strings. The status in TurboTax will remain as "accepted."

 

Check the IRS Where's My Refund site for the latest word on your federal tax refund, and your state government's refund lookup service for your state’s status.

 

Does this IRS "Where's My Refund" tool say your funds have actually been sent?
http://www.irs.gov/Refunds

 

IF SO >>>

 

 

Were you having the refund direct deposited to your bank account directly ?


If the IRS has actually sent the funds, the IRS FAQ page says to allow "up to 5 days" due to variations in bank processing procedures and times.

If so did you enter the correct routing & account number for an ACH transfer ?  Here is how you can see your deposit information:

Your direct deposit information will be at the bottom of your Form 1040.

To view your 1040 after filing, Sign into TurboTax Taxes > Tax Timeline > Some other things you can do Download/print (.pdf)

Please see the following FAQ article below if you entered in the wrong bank account information.

Did you have the TT fees withheld from the federal refund and are getting the refund on the Turbo Tax Debit card?

If so the refund needs to go from the IRS to the third party bank to the card.  This process can take up to 3 business days or more.
