All depends on the bank's policies ... a rejected deposit that is converted to an IRS check mailed to the addressed on the return can take 3 weeks or more to process.

Usually only a day or two, but then it takes the IRS 2 weeks or more to mail you a check.

It might take the IRS a couple weeks to mail a check to tne address on your return.  Or were you having any Turbo Tax fees deducted from your federal refund?

Don't expect the check on any certain day and you will not be disappointed.

They have to issue and mail you a check.

They don't need to process the return again ... they must convert the direct deposit to a mailed check and the big machine moves very slowly.

Well in the future ... double check the numbers at least 3 times before you file. Print the return and look again.  Maybe have a second person double check them as well.

Bank numbers and routing numbers are important.  If it's wrong the bank will reject the deposit and send it back to tne IRS.  The IRS has no choice but to then mail you a check.  You can't change the account number.

IRS regulations forbids changing the DD info after filing for any reason as you found out.
