Stimulus checks

I read that they won’t be depositing the stimulus checks onto the turbo card because turbo charges a fee when you deposit your taxes on there. I just think that’s completely wrong because I don’t live at my old address on file I was renting the place now I won’t receive my check at all.

I thought when you had Turbo Tax that your stimulus check would be deposited on your Turbo card ??

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 2018 or 2019, here is what you need to know: 

  • I have access to my debit card: If you have access to your debit card (most people), there is nothing more you need to do.  If the IRS deposits a stimulus payment onto your prepaid debit card, you will be able to immediately use the stimulus funds upon deposit. 
  • I don’t have access to my debit card: If you received a notification that you will be receiving your stimulus payment from the IRS on your prepaid debit card and no longer have access to it, we will have information coming shortly.  We encourage you to visit this site, where we are continually updating with the latest information and guidance. We know everyone is anxious to get their stimulus money and we are committed to helping our customers get access to their stimulus payment as fast as possible.

When is someone from  Intuit Turbo Tax going to come forward and explain *bleep* is going on. Nothing on the news or any updates anywhere. .. What is Turbo Tax some  secret society for the Government?   Are we getting this money on our cards or not is as simple as that!!!!  And don't get me started on that IRS website that I've been locked out of for the  last 2 days. WTF.....
