You cannot import a bank check into the TurboTax program.

Online it says that you can add a check by taking a picture of it. It says to login and click on add money. But I did not see the option in the app like it said.

Add money to what?  Is this for the prepaid Visa card?
You can only take a picture of your W2 to enter into Turbo Tax.

When you receive your W-2 in January use the procedure in this TuboTax support FAQ to upload a picture of the W-2 from your mobile app - <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/2938482-how-do-i-take-a-picture-of-my-w-2-in-turbotax-online">https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/2938482-how-do-i-take-a-picture-of-my-w-2-in-turbotax-online</a>

If you're asking about depositing a check to the Turbo Prepaid VISA Card, here's a page at the Turbo Prepaid Card's website with a FAQ on making a mobile check deposit.
https://www.turboprepaidcard.com/help-faq-s#photocheck

NOTE:  The Turbo Card website says "Mobile Deposit cannot be used to make your first deposit."    Is this your first deposit?

If you need additional assistance, then you'll likely need to phone the Turbo Prepaid VISA Card's Customer Service number.  There may be a Customer Service phone number on the back of your card.   Otherwise, here's one:   (888) 285-4169.

I am running into the same problem and this is what they told me:

 

1.You must upgrade to latest version of app.

2. You must have activated your personalized card.

3. You must agree to Electronic Communications Agreement and accept Mobile Deposit Terms and Conditions.

4. You must upload a copy of your Driver's License or State ID and Pass Identity Verification.

5. You must have received recurring payroll Direct Deposits for the last 70 days.

 

I am still trying to find an app to download and am looking for these "so called papers to sign. Highly irritating.

The app is Turbo Card from Google Play or App Store.  The sign up instructions should be in there.

How do I upload a government check on my card?

The bank account information for TurboTax filers is transmitted to the IRS as a part of the tax return. The IRS has the appropriate banking information for all TurboTax filers, which can be used by them to distribute stimulus payments. This is true regardless of whether a customer chose to receive their refund on a debit card, selected refund transfer (refund processing service/SBTPG) or other services.

 

Any TurboTax customer who selected a refund transfer or a debit card that gets a stimulus payment sent from the IRS to those accounts will receive those stimulus payments without delay or fees.

 

We know everyone is anxious to get their money. If you are eligible, you can find out when and how the IRS will be sending your stimulus payment to you by visiting the IRS Get My Payment tool.  The IRS Get My Payment is the ONLY way to get: 

  • Your payment status
  • Your payment type
  • Additional information, like if IRS needs updated bank account information

For more information, our customer-facing article will be updated soon, Stimulus Payments for Refund Transfer and Turbo Visa Debit Cards Customers

So you CAN'T use this feature UNLESS you have direct deposit for your paychecks set up? If that's the case that's ridiculous.  I was supposed to get my stimulus DD but for whatever reason I was sent a check and now I can't even deposit it on your card because I have to have DD for my job WHICH I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO WORK AT FOR A WHILE NOW. So can someone explain that one to me??
