Refund over $10,000

[JDubb]

Last year my refund was $13,000 – we have many deductions, farm/ranch expenses, and quite a bit withheld from our paychecks. Last tax season, it took 28 days from acceptance to receiving my check in hand.

Here’s my issue – I opted for DD but a check was cut and mailed after my return was frozen for a week. Someone said it being frozen was due to the amount and that the IRS does not DD if the amount is over a certain amount ($10,000??) Does anyone know any truth to this? I had DD in previous years for $11,000 and $12,000 but wasnt sure if this was a new thing or not.

I’ve had refunds over 10k the last three years and had them direct deposited with no delay, well this refund im still waiting on but its only been 8-9 days

My account numbers have been the same for 10 years and never changed on TT. I confirm it every time I file. Not sure why last year I had to get a check – one rep said it was because it was over $10k but I know that was a lie. Another person from the IRS said it was pulled for review which caused it to be delayed 1 week past the 21 days and thats why they sent a check. No one at the IRS knows whats really going on. Ever.

I usually get over 11K (i don’t do withholding etc plus eitc) and I always received by refund as direct deposit.
So no that is not true.
There could be other reasons they will issue a check like wrong numbers for your account info etc.
