One thing I haven’t seen mentioned here is that if you owed money (as opposed to a refund), even though the amount owed was debited from your bank account by the IRS, they do not have your bank info for the purpose of the stimulus. If you want the stimulus direct deposited, you need to get on their site and enter your bank info, etc. Otherwise, they mail a check.
Apparently, they retain bank info when a refund is involved but purge it if a payment is taken from your account. I double checked this, thinking perhaps I mailed them a check, but sure enough, the IRS did debit my account for the tax payment due. Incongruous, huh?
