When you are asked how you want your refund or how you will pay your balance due, select the TurboTax Refund Card. You can even split your refund between the card and a bank account when you sign up.
- Sign up for the card. Previously entered information automatically appears on the form. Remember: there is no bank account or credit check required.
- You should receive the card in 7–10 days after you sign up.
- After you receive the card, you can activate it online or over the phone by following the instructions on the card sticker.
- Once the IRS accepts your return, your refund should be deposited in 7–14 days.
Note: In order to protect legitimate cardholders and prevent fraud, the card will only be issued to a valid name, address, SSN, phone, email combination. We also limit the number of cards that are requested for the same mailing address or email address. A violation of these rules could result in cancellation of the card.
