How long does it take after Irs receives the direct deposit back does it take to get a check printed?

[mya_spoonhunter]

I used the wrong account number for my direct deposit refund. My state was denied and returned and now I have to wait for a check. My federal return goes to the same account and will most likely be sent back. How long will it take after the IRS receives it back will it take to print and mail a paper check refund?

The IRS will send a paper refund check if the bank refuses your deposit, and it can take up to 6 weeks for you to receive it.
