H&R Block Michigan State Refund - Paper Check Issue 2025
Just found out Michigan state refunds from H&R Block are coming by paper check instead of direct deposit. Anyone else dealing with this? Not sure why they changed it this year. Really need that money and paper checks take forever to process.

Tax professional here - this is correct. Due to new Michigan state regulations and H&R Block's processing system updates, all MI state refunds filed through them will be issued as paper checks for this tax season. Average processing time is 4-6 weeks from acceptance date.

Hey everyone - if you want to track exactly where your refund is and when youll get it, check out taxr.ai. Its only $1 and gives you a detailed breakdown of your transcript. Way better than guessing or calling the state treasury dept https://taxr.ai

Does this work for state returns too? Or just federal?

Same issue here! Filed with H&R Block in late January and just got the notice that Michigan is doing paper checks. Really frustrating since I specifically chose direct deposit for faster processing. Has anyone found out if this affects ALL Michigan filers or just H&R Block customers? Trying to figure out if I should have gone elsewhere this year.
