The IRS will convert your refund to a mailed check if the bank used for Direct Deposit rejects the deposit. This usually happens if the name on the refund is not the name on the bank account or the account doesn't exist.
That is not your case though. For whatever reason, your 5 Days Early was declined. There is a few reasons why that might happen.
- Your refund was offset or differed from their estimated refund amount, bringing the refund amount below the minimum threshold or above the maximum. What is a refund offset?
- Your bank wouldn't accept RTP (Real Time Payments) or Same Day ACH deposits, preventing Intuit from depositing your refund 5 days ahead of when the IRS would have deposited your refund.
- The IRS didn't give Intuit 5 or more days of notice in advance. This stopped Intuit from meeting the 5 days early expectations.
Regardless, this should not effect the delivery of your refund to your selected account when you filed. I would expect you to receive your refund on the 24th by direct deposit.
