IRS will no longer send checks directly to TaxPayers anymore

This is a reminder that the IRS is no longer issueing paper checks to Taxpayers for their IRS Tax Refund.  This means that your clients can only receive their tax refund by direct deposit.  If you client has to receive their refund by a paper check, the only option you will have is to use a Bank to allow you to print the check in your office.

For the official newsletter from IRS here is a direct link: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-to-phase-out-paper-tax-refund-checks-starting-with-individual-taxpayers

If you already offer bank products, then you already have the tools to offer your clients a printed check in your office.  However, if you have never offered bank products this is something you should strongly consider at least having as an option for your clients this coming tax year.  There is never a fee to you, the ERO, for signin up to offer this service to your clients.

We strongly recommend if you want the cheapest possible bank to use to offer this service to your clients, we highly recommend our new EPS banking partner.  To enroll with them, simply log into your account on https://surefiretaxsoftware.com and click on Billing/Products, then make sure you are on TaxYear 2025 and you will see option for "Submit Bank Application"
