When will I receive my stimulus check and will it be deposited into my Turbo card?

[bluedeb · Accepted solution]

Stimulus checks will begin to arrive next week

The IRS said the first checks for those who have direct deposit set up with the IRS will start to go out the week of April 13. 

The stimulus money will arrive either in your bank account if you set up direct deposit with the IRS for past refunds during tax season, or in the mail with your registered address. 

If you would like to set up direct deposit to receive your payment directly to your bank account, the IRS said it expects to have an online tool you can use to set up and track electronic payments by April 17. 

While we know when to expect the first checks, we don't know how long it will take for the IRS to process a check for every entitled taxpayer, of which there could be more than a hundred million. 

--------------------------------

As far as I know, if your TurboTax  card is active, then you should receive the stimulus money on your TurboTax card since it has a routing & account number.

so if I did my taxes for free with turbo tax and got a turbo card my money should be deposited on my turbo card, even tho they withheld my tax refund due to past debt my husband has my state was deposited onto that card and federal has the turbo card info.

what do u mean fees taken off card i dont understand? i filed and got my refund on my card they took out money to pay my husbands child support and i did self employment so was charged 120 for that will i still get my check on my card?

[Sbl0650]

I paid all of the hidden fees from my refund and I recieved and advance. I've been given the impression from other articles that this will affect whether or not I recieve a paper check or direct deposit. Turbo tax isn't offering any answers.

I am not understanding myself...I had fees come out and got the advance...so I am hoping my stimulous will go on my card....my daughter in law got hers but through a tax service not turbo tax....anyone get theres on a turbo card yet??

So if TurboTax took the fee out of your tax return your not getting your stimulus on your turbo debit card ? You guys needs to explain way better because I don’t understand the difference. What if I didn’t us a turbo card & let them take the fee. Are those people not getting there check deposited?

Idk if this is helpful or not but...I downloaded TurboTax app and talked to an agent on the phone...he said that they had just received clarification this afternoon and stimulus payments should be deposited this week if not tomorrow even if you paid fees from your refund. He asked that if for some reason I didn’t receive money this week to call them back and let them know because they are learning new information everyday just like we are.

I received a turbo card and even received an advance but I just went to the IRS and used the tracker and it initially told me while I was eligible for a payment they didn’t have any direct deposit information and I had to add it including verifying my AGI and refund amount . At this point I don’t trust Turbo Tax because the I was directly from the IRS. Here is the website please check for yourself. They say it updates daily on when the deposit is coming . Hopefully I caught it in time .

Hey guys, so I did the same. Used my

refund to pay my fee and got the advance. According to the response the rep or whoever said, “as long as your card is active and you DID NOT use your refund to pay your fees” then you would get it on your turbo card. 

the irs tool to check the status of your stimulus payment is now up and functional. I wanted to check, and i guess because I used my refund to pay my fee, it didn’t automatically put my refund on my card. Instead you get this:

so you have to enter information. Just to be safe I put my other bank info in because I don’t want to deal with turbo tax anymore. Seems like no one is getting real concrete answers. I hope this helps!

Check the IRS tool, it’s up now. I had to put in my bank info even though I got my return on the turbo tax card. 

[jennid14]

TurboTax specialists told me yesterday on the phone that it should go on my card even though I paid fees with my tax return well it turns out that this is not true because I too got the same thing you did this morning and had to put in new bank account information.
