Hi, 

I know that if you filed your 2019 taxes already, the IRS will use this information to calculate and distribute the payment amount and if you signed up for the direct deposit then the stimulus check will come as direct deposit. But I didn't file my taxes until about a week ago and my 2018 tax return was via check. With that being said, did I file my taxes in time for IRS to use that information? Or since I filed it only last week, will they use my 2018 tax info and receive the stimulus money by check? Thanks.

    Howdy! Go right to the source: https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/get-my-payment 
    Check to see what they have on file for you.  
    If you have to fill out your information, you'll need your 2018 or 2019 AGI and the amount you received/owed to the IRS. 
    I hope this helps.

    I tried that link but it says that my "Payment Status is Not Available". Is there a way to find out through Turbo Tax to know if I filed my 2019 taxes in time for the IRS to use that information/direct deposit instead of via check?

     

    Thanks
