Starting September 30, 2025, the IRS stopped mailing paper tax refund checks—refunds will be sent by direct deposit or other electronic methods. But don’t worry, as paper checks will still be issued in special cases. If you don’t have access to a bank account or electronic payment system, face a hardship (like a disability, being a victim of domestic violence, or have religious objections), are incarcerated, elderly with limited technology access, or live abroad and can’t use U.S. banks, you may still get a paper check. Paper checks will also be issued when required by law, or in emergencies and disaster situations. If you think you qualify for an exception, watch for IRS guidance and notices.
