The stimulus payment will go to the account you entered for direct deposit on the 2019 tax return.  The direct deposit information cannot be changed.  If the account is closed the IRS will send the payment by mail or on a debit card.

 

Go to this IRS website for stimulus information - https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/treasury-and-irs-begin-delivering-second-round-of-economic-impact-payme...

 

Go to this IRS website to check the status of your payment - https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/get-my-payment

 

If you do not receive the second stimulus payment on or before January 15, 2021 and you are eligible it will be entered on your federal tax return, Form 1040 on Line 30.

The Form 1040 has not been finalized and needs to updated to include the 2nd Economic Impact Payment.

I’m not looking for a generic answer. The IRS portal shows my deposit day for today Jan.4th I haven’t received my money on the card. My card is active. I want to know why the cards haven’t been loaded yet? This seems to be an ongoing problem with this card. I most definitely won’t be using turbo again this year.

Once the IRS gives the money to SBTPG, they have to assign it to your card. Turbo Tax is not a part of any money related to tax returns. You can check with SBTPG, CARES Act - Stimulus Payment Information - Santa Barbara ... or call them at 800-717-7228.
