I just found out I'm getting a paper check for my refund instead of direct deposit. The IRS2Go app shows "Your tax refund is scheduled to be mailed by June 16, 2023. If you do not receive the refund by July 14, 2023, please contact us again. We are unable to take any action until then." My refund status shows three stages: Return Received, Refund Approved, and Refund Sent. It looks like I'm in that final "Refund Sent" stage now, but with a paper check instead of the direct deposit I was expecting. Has anyone else gotten their check recently who was in a similar situation? I'm especially worried because I changed my address with USPS but not with the IRS. Will my check forward to my new address? Or will it be returned to the IRS? The app also mentions "Please Note: For refund information, please continue to check here, or visit the Refunds page on IRS.gov. Updates to refund status are made no more than once a day." I've been checking daily but the status hasn't changed. If I don't receive it by July 14, I'm supposed to contact them again, but I'm getting anxious about whether the check will make it to me with my address change situation.
The IRS will sometimes switch to paper checks if theres any issues with the direct deposit info or if your bank rejected it. happened to me last year
bruh why does the irs make everything so complicated 🤡 just give us our money already
fr fr tax season got me stressed every year 😤

Pro tip: keep checking your transcript weekly. Sometimes they release funds before sending any notice
this! my refund hit my account before I got any letters

Did u try calling the regular IRS line? Sometimes u get better luck with them than advocates tbh
been trying but cant get thru. phones are always busy af

Ask them why they can take our money instantly but take 47 years to give us our refunds back 🙄
Hope you get someone helpful! Last time I got through they transferred me 3 times and then hung up on me lol
Still on hold... music getting real old real quick 🎵😫

they'll def investigate both parties. had a friend try to pull this and got hit with a $5k penalty plus interest 💀
serves them right tbh 👀

quick tip: file early if you legit can claim the kids. first one to file usually has advantage in these situations
not always true bestie. IRS will still investigate even if u file first
2M
tru but at least u get ur refund first usually b4 they freeze anything

The FTB is actually pretty quick compared to the IRS ngl
ong the irs got me waiting 8 months rn 💀

pro tip: if u filed with direct deposit make sure ur bank info was entered correctly. I made a typo last year and it delayed everything
Let me drop some knowledge here as someone who deals with this daily. Amended returns are taking 20+ weeks minimum right now. Your tax preparer doesnt have any special viewing privileges - they see the same stuff you do. Best ways to track: - Check your transcript weekly (not daily) - Look for specific codes (971/290 combo) - Use tools like taxr.ai to decode your transcript (seriously its a game changer) - Call IRS only after 20 weeks - Ignore WMR for amended returns - its usually not accurate The system is backed up like crazy rn but hang in there!
this should be pinned fr 💯

thank you for the detailed breakdown! really helpful

I had this last year! Don't panic - just means they're doing extra verification. Mine took about 6 weeks to resolve after I got the letter.
thx for sharing! that makes me feel better
