Have you received a letter from the IRS regarding issues around direct deposit for your refund? This could be due to a multitude of reasons, but one big ones that we're seeing is because the IRS is requesting direct deposit information on all refunds or face a 6-week delay in processing refunds by paper check- since they are trying to get away from issuing paper checks. You have three options:

1) Do nothing and wait the 6 or so weeks to receive a paper check
2) Provide bank information at www.irs.gov/account or by clicking on the QR code contained in the letter
3) Call the IRS at 866-325-4066 for more information

Of course, you can always call your CPA for more information, but we're asking clients to start with these steps!
