You do not have to contact the IRS unless your refund is not received back to the IRS within 90 days. If the information you provided is for a closed or invalid account, the government will mail you a refund check once the rejected tax deposit from the bank is received back to the IRS.
- If you have contacted the financial institution and two weeks have passed with no results, you will need to file Form 3911, Taxpayer Statement Regarding Refund PDF to initiate a trace. This allows the IRS to contact the bank on your behalf to attempt recovery of your refund. Banks are allowed up to 90 days from the date of the initial trace input to respond to our request for information.
