Does this from Santa Barbara only apply to the cards or does it apply to folks who did give TT their actual bank info (not a TT card or prepaid card), but had fees deducted from their refund??
Our 1040 lists our bank's DD info, not TT's. But we paid for audit defense and other services and had these deducted from our refund, so our refund was listed as from "tax services something" on our bank records, not the treasury.
Will we still receive a stimulus DD?
SBTPG provided the IRS with bank info for *ALL* its TurboTax customers, whether an actual bank account, Turbo Card, or other prepaid card. (There was an question earlier about Turbo Cards based on something SBTPG posted, but that was cleared up earlier today.) Several people who used SBTPG to pay fees from their refund, with the difference forwarded by SBTPG to a regular bank account (that's why you had that odd description in your bank records), have reported receiving their stimulus directly from the IRS (bank records will show "IRS TREAS" and "TAX REF"). It's just taking longer for some folks than others, partly because they're going out in batches and partly because accounts without an "early direct deposit" feature (i.e., most ordinary bank accounts) may not make it available until Wednesday morning.
