If you have filed a 2019 tax return and need to change or add your direct deposit information, see this IRS website - https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/economic-impact-payments-what-you-need-to-know
The IRS does not have my direct deposit information. What can I do?
In the coming weeks, Treasury plans to develop a web-based portal for individuals to provide their banking information to the IRS online, so that individuals can receive payments immediately as opposed to checks in the mail.

The PORTAL the IRS speaks of is not expected until LATE APRIL  or EARLY MAY ...  FOLKS  need to be Patient while they the IRS try to do the impossible during a Pandemic with antiquated equipment.

The IRS will reportedly begin issuing $1,200 stimulus payments on April 9, but some Americans could wait up to 5 months to receive their check

• The IRS plans to begin sending out coronavirus stimulus payments as soon as April 9, according to an internal distribution plan obtained by The Washington Post.

• Electronic payments could be sent out next Thursday, the internal document said, but paper checks are set to be mailed out to Americans on a weekly rotation beginning later.

• The plan set priority, starting April 24, for paper-check distribution to those with the lowest income — individual taxpayers making $10,000 or less.

• Checks for those under the $20,000-or-less bracket are to be mailed a week later, on May 1, under the plan, followed by Americans earning $30,000 or less on May 8, and so on.

So is there a way to accomplish this?

@Suz_rocks247

What is your question? This is a long thread and I am not clear just what you are asking here. 

What is it that you are trying to accomplish? 

Have you filed?

It is not free money. It is a tax credit on your 2020 taxes.  I think delivering it in a timely manner goes without saying since the purpose of the early tax credit is to offset being forced out of work by the government.

I have not filed a 2018 return.  

I am going to file 2019 electronically  and I will not get a refund, I will owe taxes.

I moved twice since I last filed taxes in 2017.

How can I get my DD information to the IRS to get this stimulus check? ASAP!

Enter your bank account information in the refund section when completing your taxes. See the link below for additional assistance:

I have a slightly different situation. I've just finished my 2019 taxes with TT but have not yet filed. I OWE a few hundred dollars and I owed for 2018 as well. 

If I efile my taxes now through TT, and I provide my banking details to have it direct debited, will it be passed through from TT to the IRS and will they use that information to direct deposit my stimulus check, or will I have to go the (eventual) portal route?

Thanks in advance!

Right now it seems the IRS can not use Direct Debit information to Direct Deposit.
