If you e-filed through H&R Block and had their fees removed from your refund, read this:?

I work in a tax office and I thought I would clarify the direct deposit issue concerning H&R Block, Jackson Hewitt, etc. If you had your fees from the tax place taken out of your refund, you will receive a paper check, even if the money you received from the remainder of your refund went into your bank account or onto a prepaid debit card offered by the tax office. This is why: when the IRS deposited your refund, they deposited into an account at a third-party bank where your fees for having your taxes done and also the fees due to the bank for that service are first deducted, then the rest is disbursed to you either by direct deposit, or by check picked up at the tax office. The only direct deposit info the IRS has on your return is for the third-party bank, not your personal account. This is why you will get a paper check. The only exception to this is if you had your refund deposited onto a prepaid debit card offered by the tax place, but paid your fees upfront and DID NOT have them taken out of your refund. In that case the rebate will go on your card.

Great explanation...thanks! I wish we could keep bumping this post to the top of the answers column for everyone to read over and over!

Thanks. Now if there was just some way to get people to READ your explanation rather than continuing to ask the same question over and over.....
