I don't want direct deposit, want a paper check to. Cash

omit the direct deposit info on page 2 of the 1040. a paper check is automatic in this situation.

Also, if you are using a paid product, in order to choose a paper check for a Federal refund you cannot choose to pay any TurboTax fees out of your Federal refund. To get a paper check for the refund you have to pay the TurboTax fees upfront with credit/debit card or a prepaid debit card you can buy in a store..
