Tax Year Prior to 2020: Refund is due to be deposited into a closed account

[Makaylaa1]

Do I have to contact them regarding the rejection, or do they just send it through mail once they get it back?

[Cass0317]

You do not have to contact the IRS unless your refund is not received back to the IRS within 90 days. If the information you provided is for a closed or invalid account, the government will mail you a refund check once the rejected tax deposit from the bank is received back to the IRS. 

• If you have contacted the financial institution and two weeks have passed with no results, you will need to file Form 3911, Taxpayer Statement Regarding Refund PDF to initiate a trace. This allows the IRS to contact the bank on your behalf to attempt recovery of your refund. Banks are allowed up to 90 days from the date of the initial trace input to respond to our request for information.

Do I have to contact them directly, letting them know about the rejection or do they automatically send it once they get the refund back?

Please see the above response to your post by specialist @Cass0317

3-5 business days for them to send back to irs . Once irs receive it they will send paper check . The irs sent my paper check in mail Jan 25 i got it in the mail March 1st . 

[Cass0317]

It can take up to 5 business days for the IRS to receive the funds back. Once they receive the funds they will send you a paper check. This can take up to 10 business days for you to receive it. 

If you have any additional questions or concerns regarding your refund, please reach out to the IRS. You will find their contact information in the following link: How do I contact the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)?

Is it possible to get your state check in the mail before your federal check?

@Makaylaa1

Federal and state refunds come from completely separate entities,  There is no rule as to which one will come first or how much time there will be between their arrivals.

STATE RETURN

Make sure your state return was accepted:  https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

To track your state refund:

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2021 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

Hello..how were u able to get a 2nd deposit date to look out for? My return was sent to a closed account and the irs website continues to show a date of feb 24, which is the original date it tried posting. My closed bank account has sent an email stating that they returned it to the irs, but have heard nothing from the irs. In fact, I was sent my state return a day earlier and I received it in the mail over a week ago, but have heard nothing regarding my federal return. Please help.
