Why is the IRS mailing a check instead of direct deposit?

Do you have direct deposit information from your tax return?

Thankfully, if you’ve never made any payment (only received refunds), the IRS does have the direct deposit information from your Tax Return that it used to give you that refund.

You can’t request a direct deposit to an account not in your name, so if the Social Security Number and last name of the account holder doesn’t match IRS records, the bank should reject the transaction. When that happens, the IRS will send your refund check to the address on the return.
