Per the IRS:

  • If you agree with the changes we made, no response is required.
    • You should receive a refund check in 4-6 weeks, as long as you don't owe other tax or debts we're required to collect.

Did you ever end up getting it?

I also received the same notice and was wondering if I will be getting a paper check because of the corrections made, or if I will still be receiving my return direct deposit as it was originally set up to be sent. Thank you for any information!

Hi, did you receive your return? If so, was it mailed or direct deposit? I appreciate the info!

I recieved a cp12 with a date of 5-10 and I'm still waiting for my refund as well. I filed February 19th single 1040ez, simple. It's infuriating to continue to check transcripts and f*****g web tools so, I understand your frustration when people don't write back. You have my word that if I get it then I'll post the info. Please do the same, it will be greatly appreciated.

You are in the same situation as many, many other taxpayers.

Still no refund here...and also did not receive advance child tax credit payments that the IRS sent me a letter stating that I qualified for 😕 it’s like they somehow lost me in their system altogether?! The IRS retrieval tool still says that my return has been received and is still being processed. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ok so It's 2022 .  March and I just received cp12 today with the same question you all were asking last year. So can anyone tell me if I will receive my refund Direct Deposit still and how long did it take you to get it

What year of taxes?  Last year or this year?   If you give  your bank info to have it direct deposit?  If so it will be direct deposit but it can still be months before you get it.  I eventually called the IRS and talked to a lady and told her I really need it.  She said she will give a message to that person who has my file and if I don't hear anything in the following 30 days call back but on the 29th day I went online and had a date of when Ill get it.

I apologize but I cannot help you because I still have not received my 2020 refund, nor have I received any further correspondence from the IRS concerning it. I did file this year and already received my 2021 refund. However, the rest is still a mystery.

Thanks! I have definitely attempted to track it via “Where’s my refund” and “IRS to go” app. There is no available info. Furthermore, my tax transcripts have no updates for me. I suppose someday they’ll remember me and revisit my return lol. I apologize that I can not be of more help, but I appreciate your help 😃

If I got a CP12 will my refund still go direct deposit. As I had on my tax to do so.

I’m wondering the same thing. Ive be calling the  IRS for the past 3 weeks and I get the same thing. “We can not except your call due to high volume calls try Again later on on the next business day.” So I called bk today I press the # for trying to make a payment and guess what I got a live person. A WHOLE LIVE PERSON. Who was working from HOME. (The baby was in back ground crying) Just so they could put me on hold and send me to the Im sorry we can not get ur call message.   It’s a load a crap if u ask me. When they owe u $ you can’t get in touch with the. But IF U OWE THEM SOMETHING IM SURE THERE CALLING EVERYDAY.

It should be handled the way it was set originally. @Tak3nby03

You should get a refund check in 4–6 weeks, as long as you don't owe other tax or debts.
