Urgent: Direct Deposit bank closed - How to update bank info to avoid paper check?

Unfortunately once your return is accepted, you cannot change your direct deposit information. When the deposit attempts to the closed account, it will automatically trigger the IRS to mail you a paper check. This usually adds about 4-6 weeks to your refund timeline.

Hey there! I actually had this exact problem last year. The best way to track whats happening is using taxr.ai - its this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly when to expect the paper check. Only costs $1 and saved me so much stress. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

same thing happened to me but with chime.took like 5 weeks to get the check in the mail smh

Pro tip: Always use a regular bank account for tax refunds. These prepaid cards can be super unreliable

call the irs maybe they can help??
