Say mailing refund when was supposed to be direct deposits

[samsnoggin]

My informed delivery showed still no check today, but it just arrived in the mail. The envelope said PA but the check said Kansas City. Mailed 3/1

[mabrams27]

I contact the IRS and they stated we were  receiving letters in the mail stating why it was changed to mailed instead of a DD. She said the new FICA laws state over a $10,000.00 amount has to be mailed instead of direct deposited. They scheduled our refund to be mailed out today 03/08 and we filed on 02/16.

That can’t be accurate my sons was well over 10K and his was direct deposited

Informed delivery scanned my refund for Thursday delivery, its Friday and still not delivered. Anyone have similar issue? Is there a lag time sometimes between scan and delivery? Hoping for tomorrow

I have always filed electronic and did direct deposit. Except this year I mailed my return but still put my direct deposit Information on the form. Checked the status and it said check being mailed. Called the IRS and they claim they didnt see my checking account information in the system so I will be getting a check..hopefully!!

I too had my refund of around $2,000.00 mailed instead of direct deposited as it had been for the last many years.  I talked to an IRS agent and the only thing he could think of that may have caused it was that they changed the 1040 form and maybe that is why.  Makes sense.

I was told by tt is is because of the large amount. That the irs changed it this year. I had no issues last year either. I also know that when you call the irs, most of the people you talk to are clueless. It took me 10 months and about 15 phone calls until I actually had a gentleman at the IRS find out an issue I was having in the past. He apologized alot for the IRS and for nobody actually getting me a correct answer for 10 months.

Where is my refund

[AkinaLO]

If your return was accepted less than 21 days ago, hang in there. It can take anywhere from a few days to 3 weeks to go from acceptance to approval. 

Continue checking the IRS Where’s My Federal Refund? site for updates.

When will I get my IRS tax refund?

Why do some refunds take longer than others?

Did anyone receive their direct deposit after posting their questions? Mine this year was over 10K and it says it’s set to be mailed 2/28 but I selected direct deposit. Just curious if anyone received their DD last year after receiving the message that it was going to be mailed??? 

[Kerry12]

The person who always has done my taxes in the past said it will be mailed. Sounds like in the last 10 months the IRS changed their rules and never informed anyone. The post office said with that date we should get it next week. I actually had an amended return from last year that was sent out last Friday and I received it Wednesday. Hope that helps.

I'm having my federal return direct deposited to my bank account, and would like my NY state refund to also be direct deposited, but when I printed out copies of my returns, I was told that the State refund would be in the form of a check. I'd like to submit my bank account information, but was unable to change it in the software.

@Nana47 Upon completion of filing, there is no way to change any banking information unfortunately.  There could be other reasons that your state is sending you a check vs directly depositing your refund.To find out why you will need to reach out to them directly: NY Dept of Revenue

Trying to add my routing number so my refund can be direct deposit

[TiffanyL]

If you selected to mail your return, you would first need to change from mail to e-file. Then you can use the link provided below to easily add your bank's routing or account number for direct deposit:
