Hold on----when you look at your online TT account is it saying "Ready to mail"? If it says that, your return has not been e-filed. You have to go all the way through the FILE section to a big orange button that says "Transmit my returns now" in order to e-file. If you did not do that, then the return you prepared is just sitting there--going nowhere.
If you are seeing something on the IRS refund site about mailing your refund, that is a different story, and only the IRS can explain why they are mailing a check instead of making a direct deposit.
Please clarify where you are seeing verbiage about mailing something.
