Retirement tax questions
Right, the above answer was off on one point. If you had your refund deposited onto any brand debit card, whether TurboTax brand or another debit card, that looks to the IRS just like a regular bank account and as long as that debit card is still active, the IRS should be able to deposit the reef the stimulus to it.
The problem comes when you use refund transfer and then had the rest of the refund sent to your regular bank account. In that case, the IRS does not have your regular banking information, only the temporary account at SBTPG which was closed immediately after it was used. The IRS had a website open through October that would allow you to update your banking information, if you did not use it, then the IRS probably only has the information for your closed SBTPG account.
if the IRS indicates that a payment was issued to SBTPG, then what is supposed to happen is that after it bounces back, the IRS mails you a check or a debit card. However, the new stimulus law requires the IRS to stop sending payments after January 15. That means that if there is not a check or IRS debit card in the mail to you by January 15, you will have to claim the stimulus payment on your 2020 tax return.
