You might receive your stimulus payment on the prepaid debit card used for your most recent tax refund if you can provide the IRS with the account and routing numbers on its Get My Payment tool.

If you obtained your prepaid debit card through the filing of a federal tax return, you must contact the financial institution that issued your prepaid debit card to get the correct routing number and account number (but don’t use the routing number and account number shown on your copy of the tax return filed).

If your payment has already been scheduled for delivery, you won’t be able to change the account it is delivered to. Check out our posts on what to do if your payment went to an unfamiliar bank account or to an account you no longer have access to.
