I have not received my federal tax return. It said it was rejected by my bank and they would mail it. But it has been over 3 months and still no sign of it?

Did you choose to pay your TurboTax fees by having the fees deducted from your federal refund?   If so, the "rejected" refund was sent back to the third party bank that handles refund processing.

 

 

If you chose to have your fees deducted from your federal refund, but entered wrong or closed bank account information for your direct deposit, you are going to have an aggravating, frustrating situation.  Your refund will go back to the third party bank. The third party bank might issue and mail you a check, or they might send your refund back to the IRS and then you will have to wait for the IRS to mail you a check.

 

  If the third party bank mails the check, it will come in a plain envelope via first class mail so make sure you open all mail and do not assume anything is junk mail without opening it.  While you are waiting, make sure that the address you entered on your tax return is correct, or your problem will be even worse.

When you choose “refund processing” your refund goes FIRST  from the IRS to the third party bank.  Then the bank takes your fees out of your refund and sends the rest of the refund to you.

Who is "it" that said it was rejected and would be mailed?  The IRS?  What does you Turbo Tax account say?  Was it maybe your efile that rejected?  How do you know the bank rejected it?  

 

When you efile you get back 2 emails. The first email only confirms the transmission. The second email says if the IRS (or state) Accepted or Rejected your efile.


When you log into your account you should also see the status and if it was Accepted or Rejected, Started, Printed, Ready to Mail, etc. What does it say?
