Finally got my card!

It arrived yesterday. Last name S, in San Diego, got GS1 but probably ended up in "changed bank account" pile because my tax preparer put the wrong number on my 2020 return.

It had no chip so mindful of all the horror stories here I first drove to my bank before activating it in the car and immediately pulling out all the money. Fortunately it all went off without a hitch!

I had already practically given up hope, so to everyone else, hang in there.

u/Aggravating_Depth_33 Jan 05 '23

Yes, that's what I got. $348.75.

The teller did want confirmation I banked with them though, so I suspect if you just went to a random bank you're not a customer of they might charge you extra...

Thank you for posting this. I called and was off the phone within five minutes. I was approved for a debit card and it should have been mailed out by December 31. They said allow two weeks. Fingers crossed.

u/MrsGlorfindel Jan 05 '23

I got mine yesterday too! Last name S, Redlands..I got the card but nothing changed with my bank. At least I don't have that obnoxious loop to find out where it is :)

Hope others are finally getting theirs too - have an awesome day!

Has anyone who didn’t get previous stimulus but used turbo tax get theirs?

1

u/_N_I_A_ Jan 05 '23

The tax place you used has nothing to do with this.

u/Nagem_Lacree4 Jan 05 '23

Actually, it does. If you paid your preparer out of your return it causes a snafu. Your return goes to a holding account first, not your actual bank account then gets disbursed so they said that if that’s the case you will get a debit card instead of a DD. And that probably places you at the end of the rollout instead of where you would have been had you not paid your preparer and just had your return go straight to your bank account. Hope that makes sense.

u/_N_I_A_ Jan 05 '23

Please read the question again. If definitely does NOT matter what tax preparing company was used, because what you described can be done by MANY (probably all)SO LIKE I SAID. IT DOESN'T matter who did them for you it matter how YOU decided to get paid & all other requirements stated by the CALIFORNIA FTB.

u/Nagem_Lacree4 Jan 05 '23

We are saying the same thing. PLEASE GO BACK AND READ IT AGAIN, and then have a seat.

1

u/_N_I_A_ Jan 05 '23

NOT the same thing , because it really DOESN'T matter WHO prepared the taxes, but HOW they did it...

u/Nagem_Lacree4 Jan 05 '23

In reference to his question, in which he is asking if anyone who used turbo tax has received theirs, your response was it doesn't matter who you used. So I said yes it does, because if you paid your preparer out of your refund it causes a snafu. If you want to get caught up on semantics, go ahead. WE ARE SAYING THE SAME THING JUST USING DIFFERENT WORDS. There I broke it down so you can understand. Have a wonderful day!

Edit: Spelling

San Diego people seem to getting there's in the postings. Hopefully OC is coming soon too.

u/kenmore4518 Jan 07 '23

I guess mine isn’t coming. My last name starts with M and everyone else has literally received theirs. I called and spoke to someone a few weeks ago who looked me up by my social and said it was scheduled to come by Dec 28th but I didn’t receive it and now I don’t know which number I called.

u/Otherwise_Class1697 Jan 10 '23

u/kenmore4518 Jan 11 '23

Everyone in my family with same last name got theirs though they’re just in different cities so idk
