After you file

@russel_montgomer If you selected direct deposit for your refund but received a check instead, there are a few things that can cause that change. According to the IRS' website: 

 

I requested a direct deposit refund. Why are you mailing it to me as a paper check?

There are three possible reasons. They are as follows:

  • We can only deposit refunds electronically into accounts in your own name, your spouse's name or in a joint account.
  • A financial institution may reject a direct deposit.
  • We can’t deposit more than three electronic refunds into a single financial account.
