Santa Barbara Bank and Trust and Tax return?

i just got a check from Santa Barbara Bank and Trust with a cashiers check with my tax return. I wanted the return direct deposited to my checking account. My aunt did my taxes online and last year i had no problem. i went to the IRS site and it said i should have recieved my direct deposit on the 20th. But ive checked my account and i still havent recieved it. Im wondering if the Santa Barbara check is legit? Should i talk to my bank first or should i cash the check i was sent?

    Santa Barbara Bank and Trust is a legit bank and they do issue checks for your tax refund if you used one of their tax preparer partners. They have a website https://cisc.sbbtral.com/ where you can get more info on the check you received. The IRS would have deposited the money into Santa Barbara Bank and then they issued you a check usually it happens if there are any fees to pay for having your taxes done they take the fees out of your refund and give you the rest. If that is the case, the IRS website would show a Direct Deposit, because they did DD the money into SBBT.

    Not sure why you got a check, but that is the bank that the Turbo Tax uses to process your return. You may want to just check with your aunt first. I have filed direct deposit for several years, but a couple of those, I got a check instead. I don't understand why it would say it should have been direct deposited though. Your aunt may be able to shed some light.

    This is not a check from IRS. Visit the bank and find out where the check came from or what it is for.

    IRS doesn't send back your tax return, Tax return are keep in files.
