Once the IRS accepts your tax return, your refund will be deposited directly to your card, generally within 21 days. Make sure you activate it online or over phone by following the instructions on the card sticker.

If you claimed Earned Income/Additional Child Tax credit on your return, the government is holding those returns until around mid-February. And refunds from those returns will start releasing in late February. You can find more details on that here PATH Act delayed refunds for some filers

Make sure to activate you card as soon as you get it, online or over phone by following the instructions on the card sticker.

Once the IRS approves and issues your refund, your refund will be deposited directly to your account.

To avoid delays, be sure the name on the tax return is exactly the same as the name on your Turbo Prepaid Visa Card.

Refunds usually take 21 days after the IRS accepts your return. If you claimed EITC and/or  ACTC, the IRS expects the earliest EITC/ACTC related refunds to be available in taxpayer bank accounts or debit cards starting Feb. 27, 2018
