Nope, you'll get a paper check mailed.
When the IRS deposited your refund, they deposited into an account at a third-party bank where your fees for having your taxes done and also the fees due to the bank for that service are first deducted, then the rest was disbursed to you by that third party bank (not the IRS) either by direct deposit, or by check.
The only direct deposit info the IRS has on your return is for the third-party bank, not your personal account.

No you get a paper check. It says it on the front page of the IRS website, as well as a bunch of times on here.
Mine is the same way so I have to wait 2 weeks longer just for it to be mailed out.

You will get a paper check. It doesn't matter which program you used to e-file your tax return. What does matter is that you had the fees taken out of your refund when you filed. By doing that, it involved a 3rd party bank who deducted the fees and then deposited the balance of your refund into your account. So, the 3rd party has your direct deposit info not the IRS.

No, sorry, you'll get a paper check in the mail. For the fees to be taken out, your refund was sent by the IRS to the preparer, then they took out your fees and then THEY deposited the rest to your account. The IRS had THEIR account info, not yours, so can't very well deposit your rebate to your account when they don't know what it is. So you'll get a paper check in the mail.
