If the bank rejected your refund direct deposit, the IRS will mail you out a check in the mail to the address on the return. 

  • If you have contacted the financial institution and two weeks have passed with no results, you will need to file Form 3911Taxpayer Statement Regarding Refund, to initiate a trace. This allows the IRS to contact the bank on your behalf to attempt recovery of your refund. Banks are allowed up to 90 days from the date of the initial trace input to respond to our request for information.
  • You may call the IRS toll-free at 800-829-1040, M - F, 7 a.m. - 7 p.m.
