HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE THE IRS TO MAIL OUT A CHECK IF I MESSED UP AND PUT THE WRONG ACCOUNT NUMBER FOR DIRECT DEPOST AND DO THEY UPDATE THERE WEBSITE WHEN DOING SO?

[JulieS]

It typically takes about 7 to 10 days for the IRS to reissue the refund as a check after it is returned and mail it. The IRS website should show an update when the check run is scheduled. 

After that, it is up to the Post Office.

Banking information for direct deposit is wrong or closed

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

If your refund is sent back to the IRS—- make certain that the address you entered on your Form 1040 is correct.  And…open all mail, even if it looks like junk mail.

I don't think you will see check status on where's my refund if they decide to send a check.

You just have to wait for it.
