Just called IRS because my checking account was also closed and DDD is set for the 18th of Feb! She told me they will issue a paper check and it will be within 3 weeks from the 18th that I should receive it! Call back if not recieved after 4 weeks. Hope this helps!

I just called IRS myself, basically all they can confirm is that they tried to deposit the return but you have to wait about 5 weeks from the date they accepted your return for their system to update with a status of "deposit denied, paper check mailed" or "deposit accepted"; but likely if the account was closed then the bank could not accept the deposit. You should get a paper check in the mail around the 5 week mark as well but if you don't try calling back then. 1-800-829-1040

When that happened to me I was able to go to Wells Fargo and they could see my check was pending and they ended up letting me withdraw the funds. I caught it within 24 hours because I didn't realize my acct was closed. Try to contact TurboTax I believe the IRS releases the the funds to them and they release it to you! I hope this helps

The bank will refuse the direct deposit and the IRS will issue a paper check and mail it to the address on your tax return. I don't know how much longer it will take.

Hey, I was just curious, so wells fargo let you withdraw the funds after they closed the account for which you wanted to deposit your check? This is my dilemma today. I was just wondering if I could do the same
