#irs WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Internal Revenue Service is officially starting its transition away from paper tax refund checks today, Tuesday, Sept. 30. The change, required by an executive order issued in March, is aimed at improving security, speeding up refunds and cutting costs, the IRS said. Paper checks are more than 16 times as likely to be lost, stolen or altered compared with electronic payments, and direct deposit eliminates the risk of undeliverable mail. #reels #viral #explore #fyp | B
