Bank rejected IRS refund - How long until paper check arrives?
My bank rejected my tax refund deposit and now I'm waiting for a paper check. Anyone know the typical timeline for this? Getting nervous since I really need this money.

Once a direct deposit is rejected, the IRS typically takes 2-4 weeks to process and mail out a paper check. Make sure your mailing address is current with USPS and IRS. Sometimes it can take up to 6 weeks if there are other issues with your return.
