I have put in the wrong account number for my return and the IRS already send the money. What should I do?

The bank will reject the direct deposit and send the refund back to the IRS.  The IRS will send a refund check in the mail to the address on the tax return.  The process may take up to 3 weeks, maybe longer.

If you e-filed:

Banking information for direct deposit is wrong

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
