Does anyone know if the stimulus checks would go in the turbo tax prepaid cards? And if not is there a way to update to a bank account?

I was told by a turbo tax specialist today 04/04/2020 that you will receive your stimulus package to your turbo card if you have chosen to get your 2018/19 federal tax return to that card.

We are still waiting for IRS guidance regarding updating or providing direct deposit information for the economic impact payments and how they will be distributed to these type of accounts. We will have more information once the government finalizes the details.
