In 09, IRS would NOT direct deposit $10K +, still the case?

[AZ-Tax]

In 2009, I recall any refunds above $10K were in paper check form only. Does anyone know if that still applies for 2010?

There's no limit and there wasn't any in 2009.

[AZ-Tax]

Actually there was at least one for 2009

2009 client had around $11K - Fed refund and elected direct deposit but recieved a check. RN & Acct # correct. We must remember who we are dealing with here, the IRS.

[BHoffman]

True, but there is no hard and fast rule that direct deposits over $10k will be a paper check.

I remember something like this several years ago, about the max of 10,000$, but had forgotten it last week when I efiled one for a client.

However...... my most excellent software which others in another thread have also raved about, had no warnings when getting ready to send the return. Considering all other possible things it warns about, I would think this would be included if true.
