If you got a refund and did regular direct deposit, the stimulus will also be direct deposited. Turbotax isn't going to be treated any differently.

I"ve read that if you paid for your turbotax (or other account) out of your refund that was dd'd that's why we're getting checks instead of DD...

I used TurboTax but had it do the direct deposit option. Shouldn't it still be an ordinary DD transaction on their end still?

Here's the paragraph, i'ts only if you used TT and paid for the service with your refund

That’s not true if you're one of the people who prepared their taxes on line through the site Turbo Tax and chose to have the preparation fee taken out of your return.

When you do that, the IRS sends your refund check to Turbo Tax’s bank, they take out their share and then deposit the rest into your bank account.

If you did it that way, instead of paying for the prep fee separately with a credit card, your stimulus check will be mailed to you.

The same is true if you received a refund anticipation loan or if you split your refund between several accounts.

It's just the easiest way for the IRS to make sure there are no errors when it comes to sending you the money.
