Direct Deposit Bank Name

The box on Turbo Tax for Bank name for Direct Deposit isnt big enough to fit my banks name in it. Is this going to be an issue for direct deposit of my refund?

As long as you have the correct routing number and account number, it should not be an issue.  Try to abbreviate some of the name items if possible.

 

Please see this link for more information on direct deposit from the IRS.

So.. I submitted my direct deposit information with the correct Routing number and Account number to my Chime account. However the Bank Name (The Bancorp Bank, N.A.) I only wrote "The Bancorp Bank". 

 

This also should not be a problem?

 

Thank you so much for your time and assistance.

The absence of the "N.A." shouldn't make any difference.  That's just how the bank is chartered, i.e., "National Association"  as opposed to a state bank or Federal savings bank.   There's no way to change it anyway.   In fact, the IRS doesn't even have a strict requirement to list the bank name.   They will go by the deposit numbers.    If the deposit numbers are correct, then you should be OK.
