We can't tell you what we don't know for a fact.

 

Turbo Card and Stimulus Deposits - What you need to know

 

In order to deliver money as quickly as possible to those who need it, the IRS is sending stimulus payments to eligible taxpayers who filed a tax return in either 2019 or 2018 and chose to receive their refund via direct deposit into their checking account.  These taxpayers will automatically have their stimulus payment deposited into the account they received their refund.

We have not yet received confirmation from the IRS on whether they will be putting stimulus payments on prepaid debit cards.  However, 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 in tax year 2019 or 2018.  If you received your refund on a prepaid debit card in tax year 2019 or 2018, here is what you need to know:

  • I have access to my debit card: If you have access to your debit card (most people), there is nothing more you need to do.  If the IRS deposits a stimulus payment onto your prepaid debit card, you will be able to immediately use the stimulus funds upon deposit.
  • I don’t have access to my debit card: If you received a notification that you will be receiving your stimulus payment from the IRS on your prepaid debit card and no longer have access to it, we will have information coming shortly.  We encourage you to visit this site, where we are continually updating with the latest information and guidance. We know everyone is anxious to get their stimulus money and we are committed to helping our customers get access to their stimulus payment as fast as possible.

In the same boat, this is really frustrating! Did you take out an advance?

https://www.sbtpg.com/coronavirus-stimulus-payment-info/. I just found this, it might be helpful. This is with fees taken out of refund with santa barbara tax payer group. So I am assuming we will get them on turbo cards.

No..no advance..don't understand why they can put tax refunds on it and are all confused about the stimulus refund..the card is still active and I checked my documents and the routing numbers match

After you file

@catfishwv Ok and if you didn't pay any fees with your refund, you're ok. All pending deposits should be made by 04/15.

Fingers crossed

If you received your federal tax refund by direct deposit on the Turbo Visa card then you will receive the stimulus payment by direct deposit on the Turbo Visa card.
