I would like to change my refund to a paper check instead of direct deposit. How can I do this?

If your return hasn't already been e-filed and accepted by the IRS, just go back to the File section and change from direct deposit to check. You can't change the method if your return has already been accepted by the IRS. (Note: If you entered an invalid bank account number, the IRS will issue you a paper check.) Please see the FAQs below for more information.

If it is showing as Approved and payment sent on the IRS Where's My Refund site, you will then need to reach out to Credit Karma's Customer Service for your account.  To reach out, please see their Help Page

If this is for your federal return, I would suggest contacting the IRS directly to check and see what is going on with your refund.

 

If you are checking on your state refund, you can use the link below and select your state to track your refund or you can reach out to your state department of revenue:
