Quiver0f10 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Has anyone else heard this? I have read elsewhere that if you used Turbo tax and paid for the fees by having it taken out of your refund, that you wont be getting direct deposit ( even if your refund was DD), you will be getting a paper check. Which really stinks as I was supposed to get ours May 9th, but now we will be getting a paper check mailed on June 20th. So if you used the " Where's your stimulus" link at the IRS web site and got an error message and used TT to file, this could be why. I just found this: http://www.9wsyr.com/content/news/real_deal/story.aspx?content_id=6423675d-f8d3-4a1e-9b48-14ab794f1761 What If I Filed My Return Online Through Turbo Tax? If you file and get your tax return through the mail, that's how you'll get your rebate check. If you chose direct deposit, your money will appear in your bank account in the coming months. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoraida Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Oops! I ment to mention that we didn't have our fees taken out of our refund check. The fee was taken out of our checking account. Blessings Zoraida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you pay your turbo tax fees out of your refund or did you pay them with a debit card, CC etc? OOPS sent too soon. If you paid with checking or credit card you still get a direct deposit.

Christi/NC Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 We used Turbo Tax, had our refund directly deposited and our stimulus check was directly deposited on Friday. We paid our fees out of our bank account and not out of our refund. Christi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela in ohio Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 This makes sense. They wouldn't have your direct deposit info on file, so it wouldn't be possible to direct deposit. Even if they had a previous year's direct deposit (if they even keep that on file, which I doubt,) it would be too old to be reliable.
