Same here! Can't get anyone on the phone to explain. Reading around the web I see the amount could have been wrong so they did paper which I don't get why we wouldn't be informed of that by now or amount is too high for ddd, really frustrating to not k ow what is going on!

I called turbo tax and irs and they said the check comes right to us and then we have to pay Santa Barbra bank I guess.

@Terceka I was told they have several check processing places that it’s usualy done from the one closes to your home state and they said it typical only takes 3-5 days it’s come first class priority mail. I wish they would send it with tracking so we could at least follow it

I just received a check never knew the "IRS" rejected my direct deposit. They charged me 39.99 + some "other" fee of 20. I am pretty sure this is some sort of scam setup between Santa Barbara and the IRS. I will never use turbo tax again. First time in 10 years something like this has occurred using turbo tax.
