ive seen many mixed replys. I need a detailed answer - Will my stimulus check go onto my card if i filed with turbo tax and opted for the turbotax card, but my return was taken by the irs for back taxes?.

on the wheres my refund app, up until it had a notification that my refund was going to pay owed taxes, it said direct deposit was accepted, but ive seen many people say that because it was taken for back taxes, they wouldnt use the direct deposit info given by turbotax for the turbotax debit card.

most answers ive seen on here are literally copy and paste answers that dont actually answer anything.

In order to deliver money as quickly as possible to those who need it, the IRS is sending stimulus payments to eligible taxpayers who filed a tax return in either 2019 or 2018 and chose to receive their refund via direct deposit into their checking account. These taxpayers will automatically have their stimulus payment deposited into the account they received their refund.

We have not yet received confirmation from the IRS on whether they will be putting stimulus payments on prepaid debit cards. However, we have noticed that the IRS has started depositing stimulus payments on some prepaid debit cards for taxpayers that chose to receive their refund through that method in tax year 2019 or 2018. If you received your refund on a prepaid debit card in tax year 2019 or 2018, here is what you need to know:

• I have access to my debit card: If you have access to your debit card (most people), there is nothing more you need to do. If the IRS deposits a stimulus payment onto your prepaid debit card, you will be able to immediately use the stimulus funds upon deposit.
• I don’t have access to my debit card: If you received a notification that you will be receiving your stimulus payment from the IRS on your prepaid debit card and no longer have access to it, we will have information coming shortly. We encourage you to visit this site, where we are continually updating with the latest information and guidance. We know everyone is anxious to get their stimulus money and we are committed to helping our customers get access to their stimulus payment as fast as possible.

thats not what im asking, im asking that in the event they do put them on these cards, would them having taken the tax return as payment on a previous years owed taxes, cause them to not put it on a card. Im asking if the taking of the taxes instead of using the direct deposit info your company gave them would cause an issue.

Potentially.

I recommend you check the following website as the IRS will be releasing a registration portal for filers in a few days.  You will be able to update your banking information on this site with your most recent information.

The IRS will then be able to direct deposit your stimulus payment if you meet the eligibility requirements.
