Taxpayers with direct deposit information on file will receive the payment that way. As part of the income tax filing, the IRS receives accurate banking information for all TurboTax filers who receive a tax refund, which the IRS is able to use to deposit stimulus payments.

Is the IRS Free File program delivered by TurboTax?

By using the IRS Free File Program delivered by TurboTax, low to moderate income tax filers have the ability to prepare and electronically file IRS and all state tax returns for free, while claiming all the deductions and credits they deserve.

How long does it take to get tax refund from TurboTax?

Unfortunately TurboTax gets no information about the status of your refund. In normal times, the IRS says that most filers get their refunds within 21 days from the time their tax return is accepted. Many returns are taking longer now since the IRS did not process returns for a while and there is now a big backlog of unprocessed returns.

When do I have to file my tax return for 2020?

January 27, 2020, is the first day you can officially file your 2019 tax return. That said, you can always complete your return as soon as you have your paperwork ready. Many software programs will allow you to submit your return through their system and they will automatically file the return for you on the day the IRS begins accepting returns.
