Why did i receive a check from Green Dot Bank

[adamukun-gmail-c]

After I sent my return i got a check from green dot bank saying "we were unable to complete a deposit of  your 24 tax refund using the designated account information." and as a result they sent the check. This seems like a scam

That should be your federal refund minus the Turbo Tax fees.   Double check your bank routing and account numbers with your bank.

If you entered wrong banking information or used a closed account for your direct deposit, then the refund would have been returned to the third party bank.   That bank would either send your refund back to the IRS or could issue a check and mail it to you at the address you used on your tax return.   Not sure how you think receiving your refund is a "scam."  Be glad you received your refund-----some users in your situation wait for months for their refunds and have a lot more aggravation than merely having to deposit or cash a check.
