Stimulus Check Deposited to Turbo Card

So I am so lost. Will the stimulus check be deposited to my turno card or not? There are so many different answers and I just need a straight one. Yes or No?

From what I understand, as long as your account number and your routing number for your card are the same as what is on your tax returns, then yes

That doesn’t seem to be from an official website and they say things like “should be able to” lol that’s not reliable information

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 2018 or 2019, 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.

@MonicaM So from the look of it, you folks at Intuit effectively have NO idea whatsoever. Seeing as how you can only give that copy-paste canned answer crap and not a simple, straight up YES OR NO. Way to leave a myriad of TurboTax users in the dark...that isn't a good look

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.

If you received your federal tax refund by direct deposit into your bank account then you will receive the stimulus payment by direct deposit into the same account.
