Hi, I filed for my tax refund and got accepted , my estimated refund date was 02/12 which is today but I just found out I made a mistake in my account number by adding an extra digit. Please what should I do??

If the refund has already been sent then it will be rejected by the bank and the IRS will issue you a check mailed to the address you provided

If you entered incorrect banking information for your refund, you can change it if your return is rejected. If it is accepted, however, it is too late to change it. The bank will reject the refund and send it back to the IRS. Then the IRS will issue a paper check and mail it to the address you put on your tax return. Expect a delay of at least a couple of weeks to receive your refund.

Here is what the IRS says about entering incorrect banking information
