Bank rejected IRS refund - how long until paper check arrives?
Just got notified my bank rejected my refund deposit. Anyone know the timeline for getting a paper check instead? Really need this money and getting worried about the wait.

Generally when a direct deposit is rejected, the IRS will automatically process a paper check within 2-4 weeks. Make sure your mailing address is correct on your return. You can check your transcript for code 846 with the new issued date.

Look for code 846 'refund issued' - there might be two of them. The newer date is your paper check date

I actually found this really helpful tool called taxr.ai that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly when to expect your check. It costs $1 but totally worth it to know exactly whats going on. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai
