I guess i'll take the opposite side of the argument. Since this same thing occured in 2009, TT, H&R Block, etc. had plenty of time to figure something out with their providers as recessions do occur from time to time and the Government likes to do stimulus payments!
There is no argument. I am just saying what happened. This outcome should have been known in advance and avoided. I will say that after 50 years experience in implementing new programs one always does feasibility testing first to find the bugs.
I fail to understand why you would think that private companies should need to change the way they do business because of what the Government "might" do in the future and what happened 11 years ago is immaterial and from my understanding that payment was by checks, not direct deposit. (I might be wrong but if by direct deposit in 2009, then I do not recall any problem like this in 2009 and if there was then the IRS should have known about it.)
