TurboTax, will the processing error that delayed some stimulus payments affect the third? And are you proactively working with the IRS to correct it?

TurboTax has nothing to do with the stimulus. The IRS sends the stimulus.

In some cases, the IRS sent checks to temporary accounts created by tax-prep services such as H&R Block, TurboTax and Jackson Hewitt, which are typically used for the depositing of tax refunds. But those accounts, set up for last year’s refunds, aren’t currently valid, leading to delays in delivering the money.

That was Santa Barbara bank and not TurboTax. Santa Barbara Bank sent the IRS a database with all the temporary account numbers cross referenced to the real account number, and the IRS sent out the payment using the wrong database.
