Didn't qualify for turbo tax card, don't have bank account, can I get paper check

[MichelleT · Accepted solution]

Of course!  You can choose this option under the File Tab.

You can have a check mailed to you from the IRS.

If you're getting a refund, but have no bank account in which to direct-deposit it, you can:

1. Deposit to an existing prepaid card. You'll need the routing and account number, which you can get by calling the prepaid card's customer service number.
2. Open a bank account. Once you've opened your account, come back to TurboTax to enter your bank account information, and then e-file to get your refund as quickly as possible.
3. Opt for a check refund. Please allow 4–6 weeks for delivery for IRS checks.

• Note: Some state tax departments don't offer check refunds.

 With TurboTax, you can also:

• Direct deposit your refund into your checking, savings, brokerage, or IRA account.
• Buy U.S. Savings Bonds.
• Apply your refund to next year's taxes (not very exciting, but we thought we'd mention it).

Not that there's anything wrong with getting a check refund; the IRS issues millions of check refunds every year.

As you go through the File section, we'll show you all your refund options; just pick the one you like the best and go for it!
