I have had direct deposit for both federal and state tax refunds for a number of years. I owed federal tax for 2018 and 2019 (I have paid via check), and the routing no. on my TurboTax tax return is filled in with X's. I did receive a federal refund in 2017 and my routing no. appears on the TurboTax tax return form.

My question: does the IRS still have a record of my bank routing no. even though I did not get a federal refund in 2018 and 2019? I am asking because I want to know if I will receive my stimulus payment via direct deposit.

The IRS will only look up your 2018 and 2019 returns.

However, according to the IRS:

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.
