Question

COVID Stimulus Payment:(Please allow people who used Turbocard to change our Payment method to avoid having our stimulus payments delayed by having to receive it by mailed check

How do I update my payment method from turbo card to checking acct info for 2020COVID stimulus Payment after I already filed?My direct deposit info is still saved and is on file. I have filed my taxes with TurboTax past 20yrs I tried Turbocard for the first time and it was the worst mistaken I won’t be making again, from fees, to monthly withdrawal limits to green dot making it impossible to transfer your money from that card. In a time where most everyone needs this stimulus payment I don’t think it’s fair we have to wait another 7-10 days to receive it by being forced to receive it by mail when you can easily allow customers to update their own payment method information. (Per the treasure department’s statement)If you filed a return and got it on a financial instrument (like a prepaid card or tax advance loan), you'll receive a paper check.

How do I get my stimulus check? Will it be mailed or direct deposited?

As of today, the coronavirus stimulus package, or CARES act, has not been passed.

Follow this blog post for the latest information on tax deadlines, relief, and legislation, including the stimulus package, in response to coronavirus.

Can your Tech's at turbo create a site or link for lost or damage deposit cards (replace)? Just in case the turbo debit cards are allowed for the stimulus deposit. The bill got approved so we need you guys at turbo to stay ahead of things.

@Kayshep

did you not create an online account when you received your turbo tax debit card? Go there and report you card lost or stolen. I think some people are really confused. You can’t access the card info here. Yes it says my turbo card, but it’s issued through Green Dot Bank.

I am wondering the same thing! It’s been passed, still no answers. It would Be great if we could update a direct deposit for a bank account to receive the check, rather than a paper check and longer wait.

As of right now, the stimulus package has passed the Senate but has not yet passed the House of Representatives. They are scheduled to vote on the bill today.

Please refer to the following IRS web page for updates regarding the stimulus package and how the funds will be disbursed: https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus

It looks like it has passed both the Senate and House now and Trump is set to sign the bill through soon. Hopefully those of us that used the TurboCard for our direct deposit will get some answers soon.

Well they have passed it now so we need to know if we had our 2019 taxes deposited on a turbo card is the stimulus check going on the card too or do we need to call and change it somewhere? Also will turbo card charge us fees if it goes on there because we didnt have another choice.

Since the stimulus checks have been approved. I'm wondering if our Intuit Turbo debt cards can be used (the one I used used to recive my state and federal tax from turbo tax) for the direct deposit of this stimulus check?

OK TO ALL OF YOU ASKING THE SAME QUESTION .... THERE WILL BE NO TRUE ANSWER TO IT UNTIL THE IRS PUTS OUT A FAQ ON IT WHICH CAN TAKE A FEW DAYS.

THIS IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE COMPLETED OVERNIGHT DUE TO THE STAFFING ISSUES THE IRS HAS RIGHT NOW AND ALL THE "TALKING HEADS" ARE SIMPLY MAKING GUESSES BASED ON PRIOR YEAR STIMULUS CHECKS BEING DISBURSED. https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus

DO NOT EXPECT THE CHECKS TO BE SENT FOR A MONTH OR MORE AT THIS TIME ... PATIENCE WILL BE NEEDED.

To those who want to change your DD info it cannot be done so if your DD is no longer valid then make sure your address on the 2019 return (2018 if you have not filed the 2019 return yet) is correct ... if it is not then mail in a form 8822 to update your address. https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-8822
