Will my stimulus check be issued to my turbo tax card and does the irs have the turbo tax card account number and routing number

[JohnB5677 · Accepted solution]

Yes, the IRS does have the account and routing number.  However,  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 TurboTax Card accounts. We will have more information once the government finalizes the details.

What I can tell you is that you will get a letter or Email prior to receiving the check.

Do u know bout how long it will take and being I did file my taxes will I get a stimulus check

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 2018 or 2019, 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.

OK well can't y'all contact the irs and say hey being y'all are using other prepaid cards are y'all gonna use ours so we can get these payments to our customer and my next question is if they do deposit the money on the turbo tax card  being I hadn't given them the account number will they need it or will they already have it my question 

[Dannyboy84]

I have a question I just got a email from a real health advisor saying my stimulus payment may be on hold is that a scam won't it say from the irs that I got my stimulus on the way

[Dannyboy84]

I don't know if to a answer it or not

[LeonardS]

I would suspect that an  " email from a real health advisor saying my stimulus payment may be on hold"  is  a scam.  There is no reason why a "real health advisor" would have any information about your stimulus check.

When do u think that you guys will get notice from the irs bout them doing direct deposits to the turbo tax cards can't y'all email them say hey what's going on are y'all gonna use our cards or not or our company it's not fair that our  customers have to sit back and wait till y'all give us a yes or no

If you received your federal tax refund by direct deposit on the Turbo Visa card then you will receive the stimulus payment by direct deposit on the Turbo Visa card.

If you received your federal tax refund by direct deposit into your bank account then you will receive the stimulus payment by direct deposit into the same account.

[Dannyboy84]

Well yes thank u I'm just wondering when that's the question they been saying people who file 2018 and 2019 get there's first if that's the case why havnt we already got ours first yet
