According to the IRS' website there are 3 reasons why you may be getting a mailed check instead of direct deposit as you requested. They are as follows:

  • We can only deposit refunds electronically into accounts in your own name, your spouse's name or in a joint account.
  • A financial institution may reject a direct deposit.
  • We can’t deposit more than three electronic refunds into a single financial account.
