will both checks go onto the turbo tax card?  We filed jointly and had it put onto the one turbo tax green dot card.  The card only physically has my husbands name on it.  I know when getting our joint return this is not an issue. We always get the money even tho only his name is on the card.  However will this work the same way with the stimulus checks?  Will my portion of the stimulus check be direct deposited onto the green dot card even tho my name isn't physically on the card?

    According to the IRS website "In the coming weeks, Treasury plans to develop a web-based portal for individuals to provide their banking information to the IRS online so that individuals can receive payments immediately as opposed to checks in the mail." There is more information posted in the following link.

    I checked my tax return and it was the correct bank info for my TurboTax card. Then I went into get my payment and it stated they needed bank info. I then entered my TurboTax card info for deposit and 24  IRS hours later the IRS said it will mail me a check next week as my account could not be verified. I filed a joint return only my name is on the card.......... Could this be why I have to wait another week for my deposit?I have dealt with TurboTax for years not to sure next year.
