@Snead Please stop spreading misinformation here. Even though the DD info on the actual 2019 electronic return that TurboTax sent to the IRS was a temporary account at SBTPG (instead of what's on your TurboTax-printed 1040, i.e., your Turbo Card DD info), TurboTax *did* send the DD info on your return to SBTPG; the IRS got that from SBTPG and is sending your stimulus check there instead. (Someone posted some pages back an email sent to a tax professional confirming that the IRS directed ALL "refund transfer" providers, including SBTPG, to send their customers' DD info to the IRS so they could send stimulus checks to the right place.)   SBTPG updated its page ( https://www.sbtpg.com/coronavirus-stimulus-payment-info/ ) yesterday to make it clear which of its customers would get their stimulus check by direct deposit vs. paper check. ALL of SBTPG's TurboTax customers will get direct deposits, whether to an existing account or a Turbo Card, per this from their updated page: "The IRS will issue direct deposits to taxpayers that requested a direct deposit disbursement or applied for a new debit card when they prepared their own return online." (None of the three options SBTPG now says will result in a paper stimulus check are available in TurboTax; those are all offered thru tax professionals only.) TurboTax has updated its FAQs accordingly. ... View more

I have the TT chip card they sent me to get my refund on after I paid the FREE FEES (ha) and did my own taxes, but the IRS took ALL of my refund for owing from a few years ago. Does anyone have ANY IDEA if this card will still be used to deposit the stimulus, even though the IRS never used the account? The acct and routing numbers all match, but again, it wasn't used by the IRS for depositing. Any ideas from anyone would be much appreciated. Thanks, everyone!! Since you had no fees (and apparently no advance), the bank info TurboTax sent the IRS is from your Turbo Card. (If you had used SBTPG, they would have sent it to the IRS.) Since the IRS has your bank info for direct deposit purposes (even though you didn't get one), you *should* get the stimulus on your Turbo Card. (And no, the IRS can't collect back taxes from the stimulus check; only child support.) If it doesn't happen (i.e., the IRS ignored your bank info because your refund went to back taxes), go to the IRS "Filers: Get Your Payment" portal (right side of https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/economic-impact-payments ) on Friday and enter your bank info there. ...

@Mcridley wrote: @Phylicia969  yes the fees are supposed to be paid out of the tax refund not out of the stimulus check so yes I know the fees have to be paid but people only signed consent forms pertaining to their refunds not stimulus check which is another reason turbo tax shouldn’t send a different account to the irs and then show us something different  The "other account" (a temporary account created by SBTPG at a partner bank, used *only* to receive your refund, then immediately closed) is how it's been done since the bad old days of RALs; SBTPG receives the refund, deducts all fees and advances, and forwards the remaining balance to your own bank account or prepaid card (including Turbo Cards). There was no fraud; that's what the signed consent forms were for.   For the stimulus, SBTPG provided your bank data (the same that Intuit put on your printed 1040, including for Turbo Cards) to the IRS at the IRS' request; the IRS is using it to send you the stimulus payment directly. No fraud there either; what Intuit printed on your return is where your stimulus is going. ... View more

@jokkun wrote: Does this from Santa Barbara only apply to the cards or does it apply to folks who did give TT their actual bank info (not a TT card or prepaid card), but had fees deducted from their refund??   Our 1040 lists our bank's DD info, not TT's. But we paid for audit defense and other services and had these deducted from our refund, so our refund was listed as from "tax services something" on our bank records, not the treasury.   Will we still receive a stimulus DD?      SBTPG provided the IRS with bank info for *ALL* its TurboTax customers, whether an actual bank account, Turbo Card, or other prepaid card. (There was an question earlier about Turbo Cards based on something SBTPG posted, but that was cleared up earlier today.) Several people who used SBTPG to pay fees from their refund, with the difference forwarded by SBTPG to a regular bank account (that's why you had that odd description in your bank records), have reported receiving their stimulus directly from the IRS (bank records will show "IRS TREAS" and "TAX REF"). It's just taking longer for some folks than others, partly because they're going out in batches and partly because accounts without an "early direct deposit" feature (i.e., most ordinary bank accounts) may not make it available until Wednesday morning. ...

@Jluism36 wrote: I just want to update my bank iinformation. IF its needed. No need; whichever account your refund went to (bank account, Turbo Card, other prepaid card) is where your stimulus is going. It's been confirmed that using SBTPG to deduct fees and/or advances will NOT affect this; SBTPG provided your bank info (including for Turbo Cards) to the IRS to send out the stimulus.   If your account has been closed since you received your refund, it will be returned to the IRS and you will get a paper check. Starting Friday, check the IRS "Filers: Get My Payment" portal on the right side of https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/economic-impact-payments ; you may not be able to enter your new bank info till after the payment is returned by your old bank and you're officially in the paper check line. ...

@bransom wrote: Yes I did my federal taxes with TurboTax card so when is they put in the coronavirus check on the TurboTax card The IRS is working on those right now. It should be there by Wednesday.   BTW, SBTPG has updated its website to make it MUCH clearer which accounts & prepaid cards will vs. won't get the stimulus (bold added to show what applies to all TurboTax customers that used them): "The IRS will issue direct deposits to taxpayers that requested a direct deposit disbursement or applied for a new debit card when they prepared their own return online. An IRS-issued check will be mailed to taxpayers that requested a check printed from their tax professional's office, Walmart Direct2Cash or a Walmart MoneyCard issued by their tax professional." In other words, even SBTPG now agrees you'll get the stimulus on your Turbo Card. ... View more
