It depends. This is a new procedure placed on the part of the IRS which may be the reason for the delay. My advice would be two fold.
- Give more time for the IRS to complete the deposit for the return.
- Contact them for a time frame and ask why it's taking so long after your completed the steps to their request for direct deposit.
- Individuals 800-829-1040 - 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time (Call early or late for less hold time)
- Be prepared with the IRS CP53E Notice, the tax return and specifically the Form 1310, when you call.
NOTE: As of late 2025, the IRS is phasing out paper checks for individuals, encouraging direct deposit or alternative electronic methods, even for decedents.
