After you file

When the IRS approves your refund, you receive in the way that you chose when you went through the FILE screens-- direct deposit to a bank account, deposit to a prepaid Visa, a U.S. Savings bond, or a check mailed to your home address.  If you did not make a choice, then the default is a mailed check.
