Amended Return Shows Mail Date Dec 2 but Requested Direct Deposit - Which Method Will IRS Use?

My amended return transcript updated today and says refund will be mailed by December 2nd. But I definitely selected direct deposit when I filed and triple checked my bank info was correct. Anyone know if I'm getting a check or direct deposit? Starting to get anxious about this.

Amended returns always come as paper checks, even if you requested direct deposit. Its just how the IRS system works with amended returns unfortunately.

Hey, I was confused about this too until I used taxr.ai to analyze my transcript. It actually showed me exactly why it was coming by mail and when to expect it. The tool costs $1 but saved me so much anxiety. Check it out here: https://taxr.ai
