The IRS is phasing out paper refund checks, triggering delays for some filers who still choose paper payments.
Over 830,000 IRS notices have been issued to filers about refund delays related to paper payment requests.
A CP53E notice requires filers to provide direct deposit details in an IRS online account within 30 days.
If banking details aren’t updated, filers face a paper refund after an additional six weeks.
Nearly all taxpayers chose direct deposit in 2025, with about 94% opting for electronic refunds.
The remaining filers, around 10 million, still received refunds via paper checks in 2025.
Tax officials say some are unbanked or have religious reasons for avoiding direct deposit.
Update banking information cannot be done by power of attorney and must be done by filers themselves online.
Taxpayers should check their status using the IRS Where's My Refund tool after updating details.
The CP53E notices align with the 2025 filing season guidance urging direct deposit via banking details on returns.
