Can a joint return be deposited into a bank account that is only in the name of one of the people filing?

My husband & I are filing jointly, but the bank account is only in my name. Can our refund be deposited into the account if his name is not on the account?

[Melaine]

Yes, they do not check for that.  As long as one person's name is on the account and you both sign the return, jointly, it will be deposited.
