The information for your direct deposit should have been entered if you chose to efile your federal return and then the same information should have been transferred to your California return as well.  If you only had to enter it for your state return I would go back and check that your federal return had it entered if you chose to efile that as well.

If you chose to mail your federal return, and efile your state return, it would make sense that Turbo Tax would only ask your direct deposit information then.  If not, go back and check your federal return.  It should have asked you there.  Hopefully this helps.

I owe money on the Federal Return So I am not asked for the Bank Information.   I need to enter it only on the State Return

Once you file, you are not able to change the method you will receive your refund. If you have not yet filed, you can return to the File section of the program. See  the Turbo Tax FAQ for additional information on How to change my refund method.

The only way I have found is to PROCEED AS IF you want to e-file your California (or other state) return — but DON'T go all the way to the end to file it. ONLY go as far as where it asks you to enter your drivers license and then next your banking information. Enter it and then SAVE your file and leave that section of TurboTax. You should then be set to print out your state forms.

Thanks, that's the only way I could make it transfer over.

My Direct Deposit information did not transfer over from my Federal return. I did find a way to enter this information for your state return. Click the Forms button on the top of the page. You will see Forms in My Return. On the left side of the page select Info Worksheet under your State return. Part VII of the information form will allow you to enter your Direct Deposit information.

This was for a Michigan return but it may work for you.
