Why is it that I received a check for my return when I indicated direct deposit?

The bank refused the direct deposit maybe?

Please see the information below, for reasons you may be receiving your tax refund by a paper check rather than direct deposit, according to the IRS website FAQ's:

There are three possible reasons. They are as follows:

• We can only deposit refunds electronically into accounts in your own name, your spouse's name or in a joint account.
• A financial institution may reject a direct deposit.
• We can’t deposit more than three electronic refunds into a single financial account. (https://bit.ly/2kcmOfT)
