IRS Stimulus Check Direct Deposit

I chose to have my Turbo Tax fees taken from my return instead of paying upfront. When using this option the return is deposited into a Santa Barbara Bank account first and then transferred to my Turbo Card. Since the IRS has the direct deposit information for Santa Barbara and not my Turbo Card, what will happen when the IRS/Treasury sends my Stimulus Check?

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

Is there any news yet? People are getting funds already on other tax service cards? I just need to know if they are coming on turbo card or not so i can change direct deposit info and not screw anything up?

As long as u didn't get an advance on your tax return and paid no prep fees and didn't deal or go through Santa Barbara group...you will be getting it on your Intuit Turbo Visa debit card. This was told to me by a Turbo rep.

Did they tell you to provide different direct deposit information or did they say it would be a check? I just can’t understand how they put our tax money on the card but not the stimulus. Now I can’t contact a person only automated.
