IRS mailing check instead of direct deposit

Today we got an update on the IRS status bar that the refund will be mailed to me be Feb 27th. However, I clicked direct deposit and checked to make sure the routing number and account numbers are correct. Called the bank they haven’t rejected anything. Is this normal? Spouse seems to think it has something to do with the child tax credit and fraud protection.

IRS mailing check instead of direct deposit

I received this statement today too on the where’s my update tool. We definitely put our information incorrectly and checked it multiple times. We’ve also never had issues with this and it’s going to the same account. Does anybody have a good answer for this? Is it a fluke or will it really be mailed?

@Mdsalinas, please clarify, do you mean you are entering your information "correctly" or in fact "incorrect"?
