Stimulus check update

I updated my info on the irs website on Wednesday the 15th for two days it told me it was accepted and they will give me a date for my direct deposit just checked the website at 12 :30 am and now I get this

After all this saying if we updated our routing and account number I am getting a paperback and probably have been the WHOLE time if I would of known from the beginning I wouldn’t of cared so much but having being told we would receive it on our turbo cards and now waiting for a check in the mail sucks some of us can really use that money right now but in all I’m super grateful to be getting anything it would of just saved me a lot of headache to know the truth from the beginning instead of waiting around for something that was never going to be deposited I hope some of you find this a little helpful!

Did you use the non filers option to update your bank info?  I've been debating on it because I can't find any other page or link but I'm scared to cause anymore issues for my stimulus payment by assuming anything

No I used the filers I just saw a few other people say they got the same response back too about the check being mailed

My husband and I haven't received our stimulus payment yet either....I have been trying since the 15th to update my info on the IRS website but the info I put on the very first page keeps saying "it doesn't match their records".  I can't even get to the page to update my banking info.  We have filed with turbo tax for the past 5 years and I had it direct deposited into our bank account in 2018 but opted for our 2019 refund to go on the turbo tax card.  The stimulus has not been deposited on there and the information directly off our 2018 and 2019 tax return doesn't match the IRS's information...I am not sure what to do now

I received the same message about having a check mailed to me on April 24th as well and I entered my turbo card banking info into the GET MY PAYMENT portal on the IRS website. Was really bummed to see that.....we could be getting nothing, so there's that but it was our government who put us all in a very bad financial position by shutting down the whole Country as well....I'm more concerned with their over reaching policies and the infringement of our God given rights than a check. The moral of the story......yeah this stinks......but we should be more infuriated with the actions that put us here. Best to all 💕

I literally did the same for that exact reason and I’m so mad I did like I should of just put a different account in the first place and I wouldn’t have to worry about it lol I’m wondering how long it will take for us to receive the check if it’s being mailed on the 24th I’ve seen we should not have to wait for long I hope that’s true because I can sure use that money right now for groceries and bills :(

TurboTax is going to lose so much business over this I guarantee you it's like we can't work people have their livelihood on the line either they're going to lose house storage Etc and it's driving people insane even though it's not an amount that we can live off of the rest of our lives it's going to ease this balloon full of air that's about to and I just don't get how TurboTax is doing all that advertising for the IRS but can't even take care of their own customers that they made so much money off of

I do have some good news in doing research online the ones who do have a date for checks being mailed out. Due to the banks rejecting it wich is what happened to us with turbocard are priority and we will get it the fastest in the mailing system i mean it mail out date is 24th wich is Friday we should get it by Monday or Tuesday God willing good luck to all xoxo

I have more good news I've been hearing people with 4/24 dates received there's today also one advantage of getting paper checks is if you have any dept owed they are not able to touch your money like the people who are getting DD watch this video and read comments  https://youtu.be/SlnUuJXk8ac

No, paper checks have not yet been sent to any taxpayers.  However, taxpayers whose status indicated that payments would be sent by April 24, 2020 are reporting that they are receiving them a little ahead of schedule (hooray!).

So quick to send paper checks but can’t even go the extra mile for us who paid them to do our taxes for a simple DD...  This is truly the last time I’m getting the turbo card......  Should have just used my normal bank account like my daughter did UGH!!?

Definitely right about that smh I only used same routing number and account number in the portal to not risk any further delay and look smh when all turbo had to say was if you used turbovisa card and had either a few or advance from your refund make sure to use a personal account buuuuuut no money hungry turbo just wanted as many turbo users they could get 

DD to there card for 

Those atm fees smh bad business foreal
