The IRS began stop sending paper checks on Sept. 30, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In case the tax payer does not have a bank account in the US, the IRS will issue a paper check. In such a case it takes a long time for the refund check to arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In case you have already filed your tax return, the IRS will not allow you to update your direct deposit information. You can try making changes through the IRS online services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The IRS may send a notice letter to notify the taxpayer that a bank deposit was rejected or that no banking information was provided on the return. Such a notice does not mean the refund was denied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is suggested to respond promptly to any IRS correspondence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Make Sure Your Refund Arrives in Full<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A US tax refund can be a significant amount, and the small details on your return determine whether it arrives smoothly or gets stuck in delays.
