      Hey all. Question I accidentally added an extra number to my account number when I was filing. Will i be issued a paper check or should I call and ask to havr the account number fixed. My direct deposit was for yesterday but after waiting and never recieving anything with chime I decided to check to make sure everything was fine and lo and behold I see an extra number.

          Same thing happened to me :(
          DDD 2/26 and I got nothing checked my account number and it was missing one digit

          I called the IRS and my bank, the information everyone provided is accurate. We will have to wait a few more weeks…. Sorry! :'(

            Yeah it’ll probably add an extra 2-3 weeks to your wait time. What will happen is that they will attempt the DD and the bank will reject it due to a lack of an existing account with that number. It will be sent back to the IRS – this entire process will probably take about 5 – 7 business days. Then the IRS will issue a paper check. Which, to be frank, will probably take them two weeks to do for no real reason other than them being understaffed and as slow as molasses.

                They will attempt to DD, the bank will decline it and then you will be sent a paper check in the next run.

                From what I remember you can’t call and fix it.
