Q&A of the Week July 14, 2021
Answer:
The July 15 payment will be deposited in the account that is currently on file with the IRS. If you don't have a bank account on file, you will receive a paper check in the mail. It will take longer for paper checks to arrive, so it is recommended that you add bank account information to receive payments via direct deposit.
