Are they allowing third party deposits? Will we get our stimulus with the routing number that I filed or do we have to wait until the where’s my payment tool go to live? I understand this is a confusing time but it’s confusing for customers as well because I don’t understand
There are multiple reports that people who had refunds routed thru SBTPG to their bank accounts got their stimulus, but only a few who did that with Turbo Cards. Most likely you'll still get it, but you'll just have to wait and see.
One thing that could be helpful: If you get your stimulus and had your refund routed thru SBTPG, look at the description of your stimulus deposit online. If it reads something like "IRS TREAS 310 TAX REF" (like mine that just arrived on my Bluebird prepaid card though I didn't use SBTPG), it definitely came straight from the IRS so they got your direct deposit info. OTOH, if it mentions SBTPG like your refund did, it was routed thru SBTPG. (SBTPG denies it's doing that, but someone in one of these threads posted an interview where Treasury Secretary Mnuchin said companies like SBTPG would pass it through without fees or other deductions, much like the IRS isn't deducting anything except child support.)
