Since a tax refund is handled by a division of MetaBank, EPS Financial, there was a mistake in transferring funds. The funds were sent to the division rather than to the IRS. The division issued a statement saying that the funds will be resent back to the IRS. The funds will then be redistributed back to the taxpayers, directly to their accounts. According to WOAI, it’s a bit of a lengthy process and will take 7 to 10 business days. Taxpayers can visit one of MetaBank's locations or get in contact with the bank's customer support to get more details.
