Form 1310 and direct deposit

[Catherine]

I have a return that needs Form 1310 - so of course it has to be paper-filed and we'll see a response sometime in the next century at this rate.  However, will the IRS take a direct deposit request with this, or will they insist on a paper check?

I ask because there have been delays in getting a bank account for the estate - but if there's just going to be a paper check sent, we might as well get this return in the queue.  Otherwise, we'll wait for the bank account info so at least once they do process the refund will arrive quickly.

My recollection is that you can request direct deposit to the estate account, but often the banks reject them because the names don't match exactly (name of estate vs irs deposit).  I think the hold up on direct deposit would be a bank issue and not an IRS issue.

Well, there's a data point.  Thank you!  I always thought if it was a live account, the bank would take it.  Even if the names didn't match.
