Next January the IRS will impose a limit on the number of refunds that can be deposited to a single checking account or debit card.
The maximum number of refunds going into one account will be 3, after that paper checks will be issued for the fourth and subsequent checks.
This limit has come into place in order to curb identity theft and to prevent unscrupulous tax prepares from depositing clients refunds into their own accounts.
It is also an attempt to stop thieves who file false tax returns and have them deposited into their accounts.
