https://www.mlive.com/news/2025/04/irs-to-stop-issuing-checks-as-part-of-trump-executive-order.htmlIf I owed the IRS, I would pay in a check. My parents expect a check from the IRS when they do their taxes.
This is going to hurt the elderly.

(12,412 posts)While paper checks are going away in most cases, the order does provide for some payment recipients to continue receiving paper checks in certain instances. The order allows for the Secretary of the Treasury to review and revise procedures including exceptions for:
Those who do not have access to banking services or electronic payment systems.
Certain emergency payments were electronic disbursement would cause undue hardship.
National security- or law enforcement-related activities where non-EFT transactions are necessary or desirable.
Other circumstances as determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, as reflected in regulations or other guidance.
