How does turbo tax help me get my stimulus check quickly

The IRS Economic Impact Payments website at this link is a good place to find out about your stimulus pa....

 

If you filed a tax return in 2018 or 2019, you should be "on the list".  Use the Get my Payment button at this link under the section "Filers: Get Your Payment" to check on the status of your payment.

 

If you received your 2018 or 2019 refund via a Turbo Visa Debit Card issued by Green Dot, you should be receive an email about your stimulus payment.  If you fall into this category, you should review the following information:

  •   I have access to my Turbo Visa Debit Card: If you have access to your Turbo Visa Debit Card, there is nothing more you need to do. You will be able to immediately use the stimulus funds upon deposit on 4/15. You can sign in to your account to check your balance here: https://secure.turbodebitcard.intuit.com/login 
  •  I no longer have access to my Turbo Visa Debit Card: If you no longer have access to your Turbo Visa Debit Card, don’t worry. If you have registered your card and know your login credentials, you can request a replacement card by signing in to your Turbo Visa Debit Card account (https://secure.turbodebitcard.intuit.com/account/report-lost-or-stolen). If you don’t know your account login information, call 888-285-4169 for assistance. You will not be charged for a replacement card or check; standard fees will be waived or refunded to you.

Due to unprecedented traffic you may experience some delays on the Turbo card site or phone line. Everyone is anxious to get their stimulus money, your patience is appreciated.  For additional Turbo card questions, including how to receive a check, please see this Turbo Visa Debit Card site

 

 

If you didn't file a tax return in 2018 or 2019, but were required to do so under the rules, you'll need to file your tax return(s) to "get on the list".

 

If you were not required to file a tax return in either 2018 or 2019, use the "Non-Filers: Enter Your Payment Info Here" section at this link to provide your payment information to the IRS.  Or, you can use the TurboTax Stimulus Registration product at this link.

 

Note that "not required" to file a tax return is not the same as "required to file but didn't".  

 

See the section of IRS Publication 501 at this link for the Table 1 chart with the gross income amou...

 

See IRS Publication 501 Table 3 for the other situations that require you to file a U.S. tax return,...

 

Here is a summary of stimulus payment eligibility:

 

You don't need to sign up or fill out a form to receive a payment if you've been working and paying taxes since 2018.  Or, if you are on Social Security, you won't need to take any action. The IRS will issue guidelines for people who didn't file a tax return for 2018 or 2019.

 

If you made less than $75,000 in 2019, you will be eligible for the full payment of $1,200. Couples who filed jointly and made less than $150,000 will get $2,400.

 

An individual who filed as "head of household" and earned $112,500 or less gets $1,200.  For every child in the household, you will receive an additional $500.

 

If you made more than $75,000, your payment will be reduced by $5 for every $100 of income that exceeds the limits. So if you made $80,000 in 2019, you will receive $950. The payment decreases to zero for an individual making $99,000 or more or a couple making $198,000 or more.

 

If you're a family of four, you’ll be eligible for a maximum of $3,400.

 

Dependents older than 16 at the end of 2019 and people without a Social Security number are not eligible for a stimulus payment.

How does turbo tax help me get my stimulus check quickly

I heard that if you paid for the 100$ Turbo Tax service using your tax return money that this screwed up the direct deposit information and the Federal Government is going to make all these users wait until next year. Isn't there something Turbo Tax can do to work with the Federal Government on behalf of their customers?

 

Ive gone to the IRS site and they won't let me enter in my direct deposit. I did everything right and filed my 2019 taxes early this year. 

Please provide any helpful information about how TurboTax users can access their Stimulus check. And don't provide me the link to the IRS site.
