I filed my taxes early using Turbo Tax and got direct deposit in February but I also filed for a 1040x via mail around April 1st and all ready recieved a printed check for the amendment. Will I get my economic stimulus through the mail or through direct deposit?
I am not getting a refund this year for my federal taxes, so how can I get my economic stimulus refund ($600) by direct deposit instead of a mailed check? Should I put my bank account routing number on the 1040 form even though I am not getting a regular refund?
I didn’t get my refund through direct deposit. But I would like to get the economic stimulus deposited directly into my account.
I think this phishing scam is brand new; it asks people for their direct deposit info so they can get their economic stimulus refund faster. It looks so official, I’m afraid a lot of people could be fooled, especially because so many people are waiting so anxiously for this money. I don’t recall seeing a warning on this specific scam anywhere. I forwarded the e-mail to the IRS, but what is the best way to get the word out to the public ASAP?
