If it says mailed that means they have mailed you a check.
For information on why they are mailing you out a check instead of depositing your return see this information from 'Where's My Refund FAQs':
Q: 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.
