I got a letter from the IRS telling me there was a card that I didn't activate, and asked me to call, and the call never got through, why isn't the refund directly deposited into the bank account? But in this ancient way? Regarding the refund, the card should not be mailed. This method is too backward. I want to change it to the method of depositing money into the bank card on the website, but I can't find this menu. I submitted comments in the feedback menu, but I don't know if it was sent successfully.
