Will the IRS stop sending paper refund checks? What are my options?

The IRS is phasing out paper refund checks. Some paper checks are still being sent this year, but they may take longer to arrive. To get your refund faster and more reliably, we recommend choosing direct deposit. You can use your bank account (routing and account number) or use the routing and account number for eligible accounts from apps like Cash App, Venmo, or PayPal.
