If this is the case you will receive a notice informing you that the account has exceeded the direct deposit limits and that you will receive a paper refund check in approximately four weeks if there are no other issues with the return. You can track your refund at Where’s My Refund?
If by chance there was an issue with the IRS being able to deposit your refund into your bank account, the bank will send them a notice and the funds back which will cause the IRS to issue a refund by check. This check will be mailed to the address on file.
