Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@Kbella143 - the direct deposits will not begin until early next week.  That is what Treas. Sec. Mnuchin told Congress yesterday

but maybe the information below will help you plan for 'worst case scenario'

 

 if use of the cards you reference result in direct deposit, you will know next week as you will receive the stimulus money

 

if they do not result in direct deposit, than means you'll get a check.  It also means that since you already filed either 2018 or 2019 tax return, the only way to provide the IRS your banking information so that a direct deposit occurs, is to wait for them to produce the website they promised.

 

The issue isn't IF you are going to receive the stimulus money, it's WHEN.  and WHEN is important if you are unemployed with bills piling up,

 

for the checks, here is the broad schedule Treasury Secretary Mnuchin outlined last week.  the checks will be sent based on your income on your tax return.

 

Week of April 24:  incomes under $10k

week of May 1: incomes under $20k

week of May 8: incomes under $30k

etc.

 

so maybe this will help you plan for 'worst case scenario' - that is not the answer you are seeking, but whether the cards constitute direct deposit or not isn't well understood,

 

hope this helps.
