Tax Year Prior to 2020: Turbo Card and Coronavirus Stimulus

[Scottyh04]

Although I didn't pay them to prepare my taxes nor did they issue me my TT Card... DOES ANYONE REMEMBER WHERE OR HAVE THE ENVELOPE WITH THE ADDRESS THE TURBO CARDS CAME IN WAS?!

@Scottyh04 @charles757710 - my fear is those who had the fees taken out from their refund will get checks. 

there had to be a way for the refunds to go to SBPTG so they could subtract the fees BEFORE you saw the remaining refund on the card.  That was probably a different account number that was temporary. 

not knowing that, I suspect the iRS will send a direct deposit to that temporary account, be informed it is closed and that will precipitate a check.  You would have an account at SBTPG in this case.

If you didn't request the fees be subtracted, then you have no account at SBTPG and you'll get a direct deposit of the rebate.

what a mess!

So I have been helping others on another forum for some time now. I am not a tax agent but thankfully I live with people who can help. This has all happened in 2008 and the same questions your asking today were asked then. I’ll send a link but it’s looking like those who had taxes loaded on a card and had FEES paid, which involves a third party bank such as Santa Barbra and many others, will have to wait until IRS portal opens up to inform of proper bank info or receive paper check. Those who did not pay fees such as TT Visa card got there stimulus loaded last time and it’s looking to be the same this go around. The IRS can make agreements and do things differently but besides info I’ve been informed of, here is the link to help settle some issues

Thanks for the blast from the past ... I vaguely remembered this about the third party issues slowing things up a bit.     

Hopefully the IRS will get the Portal open AND FULLY OPERATIONAL SOON  .... but  back in 2008   the IRS did not also have an active  tax season  &  a pandemic to deal with so if they can pull off a working portal in a timely manner is yet to be seen.  Everyone needs to be patient and expects bugs/glitches to happen.

• I'd like to get my stimulus package on my turbo tax card. Is that possible?

[charles757710]

Only if you go to Santa Barbra tax group website and enter ur information. If they have it you will be getting a paper check

[charles757710]

*****most likely*****

Then that may mean that Santa Barbra has no idea what their talking about and we will all get the money thru the card
