BTW: Anyone you've ever given a paper check to has your checking account number and routing number, which means they can make an electronic deposit or withdrawal by using that information if their business is set up to do electronic transfers. That's reality. You're constantly trusting everyone you deal with to not be crooks.
I've done our taxes with direct pay and direct deposit for as long as it has been available. Our 1st stim check came in paper form. I don't think there are answers as to why.....
