After you file

@prospermang2019 TurboTax gets no information from the IRS after you file your tax return.  Occasionally, the IRS decides--for reasons of its own--to mail you a check instead of making a direct deposit.  Only the IRS can tell you why they issued a check instead of making a direct deposit.  You can call the IRS to ask; be happy you will receive your refund.

To  call the IRS:IRS:  800-829-1040  hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Mon-Fri

Listen to each menu before making the selection.

Then do NOT choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.

Instead, press 2 for "personal income tax".

Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".  

Then press 3 "for all other questions."

Then press 2 "for all other questions."  It should then transfer you to an agent.
