When we filed our 2018 taxes we had our return sent to our bank account.  This year when we filed our 2019 taxes we got the turbo tax “debit card” that has a bank account and routing number.  Do you know if we will still have to update our account info or will it possibly be deposited in either account?

One Turbo Tax employee says no and one says yes. Which is it???

[DaveF1006]

Let me break the tie. Right now, the only two options to receive your refund is either:

• A paper check
• A direct deposit

well that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard in my life. When I go on there to try to enter my direct deposit information since they are saying that Green Dot turbo card filers will receive a check, it doesn't even give me the option. Why can't we have an option to enter our regular bank account information?

So people who either haven't filed at all or Never file can easily go to the TurboTax tool and put their direct deposit information in but when I try to because I have the turbo card and I've been using TurboTax for years it will not even give me the option. It takes me straight to my 2019 taxes page. Can you guys please open up that tool for us?

I was just told 2 days ago by an agent on the phone that we would be receiving the stimulus on the turo debit card. Why are your agents giving out false information? Or are you mistaken? Also can you explain why the stimulus will not go to the turbo debit card? It has a routing and account number, so why?

[guitarman4875]

Also other employees on this site have stated that we would be able to receive the stimulus on our turbo debit cards? Can you guys get it together and put out a definitive statement on this. No waffling, no ifs ands or buts just the correct info. And if we can not it should be on your company to find a way to let us change that info pronto not whenever the treasury dept. gets around to it. People need that money and if by using your service it prevents them from receiving it until much later that is unacceptable. I have used your service for years but if this is true that I can not receive my stimulus on my turbo debit card I will never use this service again. 

[Angschrec]

So they for sure will not be depositing stimulus check to turbo tax debit cards????

[DavidD66]

The tool you are referring to is actually allowing people to file a tax return with zero income, and no refund or tax due.  Since you have already filed a tax return, you can't file another one.  The IRS will reject it.  

As for people who filed and received their refund on the Turbo Card, we are still waiting for IRS guidance regarding updating or providing direct deposit information for the stimulus payments and how they will be distributed to these type of accounts. We will have more information once the government finalizes the details.
