Say mailing refund when was supposed to be direct deposits

[lisarol]

i'm getting the same message, that it is being mailed, i have DD, i think/hope it,s just a glitch

[sdluth77]

I’m getting the same message as well and I asked for DD. It better be a glitch.

Same irs message also, upon reviewing my paperwork, the signature block is blank, spouse and i did the electronic signature. cant access last years filing wo paying for it , e filed & received dd last year w/o incident. is anyone else's signature block that e-filed blank? just curious... sometimes its all in the details

@branbran719 mine is blank but I was able to look at last years and it was also blank, but I still received DD. Hopefully this is just a glitch on the IRS website.

For those that are getting this message also...unexpectedly that is, Is your return over or under 10k? If you aren't comfortable posting I understand but curious as mine is over 10k and I saw posted elsewhere that over 10k is always a paper check. I am also 100% positive this is untrue as I got DD 2 years back with a return over 10k. Let me know 🙂

[sdluth77]

Where did you see this at because I don’t see any publication limiting the amounts.

[sborner]

I can't remember but likely on one of those boards full of liars. I have since found this:

The IRS has no dollar limit on direct deposit of refunds. However, direct deposit must only be made to accounts bearing the taxpayer's name. ... The fourth and subsequent refunds automatically will convert to a paper refund check and be mailed to the taxpayer. For more information, see IRS Direct Deposit Limits.


I also read that they are randomly selecting some refunds for paper checks but that is probably BS also.

thanks for looking up the signature, much appreciated . our return is over 10K, and i read the same thing about the deposit being over 10K with banks required to report deposits exceeding 10K. last year ours was over 13K and a dd was made w/o issue using intuit. here's hoping its all a glitch &/or the postal service is swift w those checks!

Ok so I took my commute home time to wait on hold for IRS and got one of the script call center cowboys that started telling me that EITC didnt get processing until 02/15 etc...I pissed him off by cutting him off and explaining that we are way past that and I am approved but the problem and question is WHY AM I GETTING A PAPER CHECK! He came back with...it could be a myriad of reasons and it could be your bank rejected it blah blah..I just gave up and didn't mention that my state was DD and it came ZERO ISSUES! Sorry folks...I tried

[lena198317]

Same exact issue. Over 10k back. Supposed to be dd getting check March 1. State deposited no problem. Santa Barbara has the expected refund amount but have recieved no actual funds. This is awful. Was counting on DD

[garysb-gary]

Having same problem I just hope it really mails on the 1st

[sborner]

I hate how they say between now and the 1st.....but could be as late as 03/29! What is that!!!! Ugh they hire some real winners off the street for the seasonal call center. The guy has such blinders on he was also rude as hell! The Intuit guy was much nicer becuz he has to be but dumber than whale [profanity removed]!

[jacksonsk90]

We are getting over $10k back as well. Looks like we will just be waiting for that paper check.

[garysb-gary]

Were any of you supposed to get fees taking out from TurboTax through Santa Barbara Bank? I'm wondering if our check comes from the IRS how is TurboTax going to get their fee?

[lena198317]

My fees were supposed to come out not sure what happens now
