Your tax debt offset will not interfere with a direct deposit for your stimulus payment. However, we have not yet received confirmation from the IRS on whether they will be putting stimulus payments on prepaid debit cards. 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. You should receive an email from your green dot card carrier when your stimulus payment is made if you normally receive notifications.
Note: Your stimulus payment may only be intercepted for past-due child support.
You can also view this IRS link and use the Get Your Payment application, available mid-April, to check the status of your stimulus payment.
ACCORDING TO THE TURBO TAX SITE: The IRS is sending stimulus payments to eligible taxpayers who filed a tax return in either 2019 or 2018 and chose direct deposit, and is depositing some stimulus payments onto prepaid debit cards for filers that chose to receive their refund through that method. For the majority of prepaid debit card holders there is nothing more to do as the stimulus payment will be deposited to their account. For any TurboTax customer that no longer has access to their debit card, we encourage them to visit https://turbodebitcard.intuit.com. We're committed to helping our customers get access to their stimulus payment as fast as possible.
