Ok.... SO... I have the TT chip card they sent me to get my refund on after I paid the FREE FEES (ha) and did my own taxes, but the IRS took ALL of my refund for owing from a few years ago. Does anyone have ANY IDEA if this card will still be used to deposit the stimulus, even though the IRS never used the account? The acct and routing numbers all match, but again, it wasn't used by the IRS for depositing. Any ideas from anyone would be much appreciated. Thanks, everyone!!
Since you had no fees (and apparently no advance), the bank info TurboTax sent the IRS is from your Turbo Card. (If you had used SBTPG, they would have sent it to the IRS.) Since the IRS has your bank info for direct deposit purposes (even though you didn't get one), you *should* get the stimulus on your Turbo Card. (And no, the IRS can't collect back taxes from the stimulus check; only child support.) If it doesn't happen (i.e., the IRS ignored your bank info because your refund went to back taxes), go to the IRS "Filers: Get Your Payment" portal (right side of https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/economic-impact-payments ) on Friday and enter your bank info there.
