Why was my return mailed and deposited into my account?

Go to this website for IRS federal tax refund FAQ's - https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions

I requested a direct deposit refund. Why are you mailing it to me as a paper check?

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.

Why was my return mailed and deposited into my account?

The IRS does not notify TT of the reason.
