Some customers have discovered that the routing number printed on their checks are not being accepted by the bank for direct deposit of refunds or for direct debit of taxes owed.

EXPLANATION: 

  • In some cases, the routing number printed on the check differs from the routing number used for electronic transactions.
  • Because direct deposits and debits are electronic transactions, the routing number from the check will not work.

Note: Some major banks, such as Bank of America, and Wells Fargo have multiple routing numbers, and the number you will need, depends on which state you live in.To resolve this issue, contact the bank and ask for the correct ABA routing number to use for your state.

First time I've had this issue. None of the routing numbers Wells Fargo gives me on the website work. The one on my checks (same one I used for tax refund last year) does work.
