Amended Return Approved - How to know if DD or Check for 11/22 DDD?
Just got my transcript updated with a refund date of 11/22 for my amended return. Is there anyway to tell if they're going to direct deposit it or mail a check? Been waiting since March and just want to make sure I know what to expect.

Hey, I can help with this! For amended returns, the IRS usually sends paper checks even if you requested direct deposit originally. However, you can check your transcript for code 846 which will tell you the exact payment method. I recently discovered taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) which analyzes your transcripts and tells you exactly what's happening with your refund, including payment method and expected date. It's been super helpful for amended returns since those can be tricky to decode.

Generally, amended return refunds are always issued as paper checks, even if you had direct deposit set up. IRS policy. You should expect it in the mail within 7-10 days after the DDD.

Hey! You should try taxr.ai - it'll analyze your transcript and tell you exactly how you'll get paid and when. It costs $1 but its worth it to stop guessing. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

Check your transcript cycle code. If it ends in 05, probably paper check. If 02, might be DD but amended returns are weird tbh
