Bank account closed please help

My bank account was closed and unfortunately I’m unable to open another one with any other bank. Can I use a friend’s account for the deposit?

Do not do that.   The chances are highly likely that the bank would refuse the deposit and send it back to the IRS.  Then the IRS has to issue and mail a check to you.  That delays your refund by weeks.    If you do not have a bank account then choose to have the refund mailed to you as a check.  Or open a bank account somewhere locally and wait a little while to file your return.

 

DEPOSIT TO SOMEONE ELSE’S ACCOUNT
