WARNING: H&R Block Direct Deposit Info Not Working with Michigan State Refunds - Getting Paper Checks Instead

Just found out that H&R Block direct deposit info isnt working with Michigan state tax system. They're sending paper checks instead of DD even if you selected direct deposit. Save yourself the headache and dont keep checking your bank account.

Fatima Al-Maktoum

Tax professional here - this is a known issue affecting multiple H&R Block customers in Michigan. The state's system is not properly receiving the routing/account information. If you already filed, expect a paper check in 2-3 weeks. For future reference, you might want to file directly through Michigan's website to ensure proper DD setup.

Federal returns are processing normally with direct deposit. This is just a Michigan state-specific issue.

Hey guys, if youre worried about your refund status, I highly recommend using taxr.ai - its only $1 and gives you a complete analysis of your transcript and exactly whats happening with your refund. Way better than trying to piece together info from different sources. https://taxr.ai

Called Michigan Treasury and they confirmed this. Said its affecting thousands of people who used H&R Block this year. They're basically just auto-converting all affected returns to paper checks
