Online the IRS states that an amended return, if owed credit, will be returned to you in the same form as the original. Hence, if your original taxes you opted for a check by mail, then that is how you will receive you amended return and if your original was a direct deposit, then it will be. It notifies you when you finish th return somewhere at the end in either paperwork or where you did your taxes. Basically stating that the return style previously chosen cannot be changed on amended taxes.
