The IRS explains the possible reasons why they mail out a paper check instead. Please see the information listed on the IRS website below:
"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.
