Turbo Card and Stimulus Deposits - What you need to know
In order to deliver money as quickly as possible to those who need it, the IRS is sending stimulus payments to eligible taxpayers who filed a tax return in either 2019 or 2018 and chose to receive their refund via direct deposit into their checking account. These taxpayers will automatically have their stimulus payment deposited into the account they received their refund.
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 2019 or 2018, here is what you need to know:
I talked to a IRS official yesterday, they told me that Turbotax had the option to pay a transfer fee for the stimulus check but Turbotax opted out. The IRS official also stated that Turbotax knew of this roadblock months ago and didn't correct it then. That's why the "if you don't get the recieve the check you can claim on your taxe return" option was posted last week.
I'm not aware of what you are referring to, however, it is correct that if you don't get your check you can claim it on your 2020 Tax Return.
