After you file

For those who use prepaid debit cards all if them come with fees and strings so find an alternative like a real bank account.  Otherwise learn to live with the restrictions ... find out the correct direct deposit information for the card you have the USE them correctly.   For tax refunds you do not need to get a new card every year.   If you  have the TT fees withheld from the federal refund the have the refund deposited to the card or bank account you already have and use.   

 

Better yet stop paying fees to file your tax return ... if you qualify use one of the 10 FREE FILE options but you must log in thru the IRS site :

If you choose the TT option then you can log in with your same user ID and agree to switch to the FREE FILE option then your progress will be preserved.
