Where’s my stimulus

[AmyC · Accepted solution]

Here are the options since TurboTax does not handle money:

1. You paid for your return before filing or

2. Did you have the fees taken from your refund or get the Green Dot debit card?

If #1, the stimulus check will go to your bank account/ home address directly from the IRS - the same as your federal refund.

If #2, the stimulus check will go to SBTPG/Green Dot and then be routed to you. My understanding is an additional 1-2 days. Anybody that chose to pay their TurboTax fee out of their refund opted to have SBTPG as an intermediary.   Go to this Santa Barbara Tax Products Group website for stimulus information.

If you need your card replaced, you may contact Green Dot at 888-285-4169.

You may check the status of your payment at IRS.gov/GetMyPayment.

Yes. There were some IRS issues with the second stimulus deposits. For those who did not receive their second stimulus check there is a Recovery Rebate Credit that will part of your tax return which will include it with the rest of your refund.  Please use the links below for more information. 

1. When will I get my second stimulus check? (scroll to this question when you select the hyperlink)
2. Why haven't I received my second stimulus check?
3. IRS Recovery Rebate Credit
4. How can I check on my second stimulus payment?

This will reconcile both stimulus payments on the 2020 return which will increase your refund or decrease any amount due, if applicable.

In TurboTax Online, to claim the Recovery Rebate credit please do the following:

1. Sign into your account and continue from where you left off
2. Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then on Federal Review on the top of the screen
3. On the next page titled Let's make sure you got the right stimulus amount, click on Continue
4. Follow the interview
5. TurboTax will determine whether you are entitled to any additional stimulus
6. Any stimulus amount remaining due to you will show as a credit on line 30 of your form 1040.

When will I get my third stimulus check

TurboTax is not involved with sending the stimulus money. The IRS is still issuing the third stimulus payments. Since you are on social security, the IRS has your account information.  

Keep in mind that if the stimulus was not issued and is then claimed as a Recovery Rebate Credit, then the funds are no longer protected from government or other debts. For more information, see: Recovery Rebate Credit — Topic E: Receiving the Credit | Internal Revenue Service

The green dot card is handled by the Santa Barbara Tax Group, but it is good that you still have the card and have access to it if needed later.
