Educational Tax Tip: Understanding IRS Notice CP53E

Have you received Notice CP53E and aren’t sure what it means? This notice informs you that the IRS needs you to update or provide your bank account information in order to issue your refund by direct deposit. This notice is being sent more frequently in 2026 due to new federal policies requiring a shift toward electronic payments and reducing paper checks, which have caused delays for taxpayers who did not include valid banking details when filing. You typically have 30 days to log into your IRS online account and submit or correct your banking details. If you don’t respond in time, the IRS will still send your refund—but as a paper check, which can significantly delay the process.
