Due to two different crappy circumstances in different tax years the same happened with me. The only two options are, catch the bank before they fully try to deposit that way they can reroute the money, or it gets sent back to irs as unpayable and you have to wait for a paper check in the mail.

@ Sa16  If its within 48 hours of your tax return being accepted, you could try contacting the IRS to see if they can change it to a paper check.

How do I contact the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)?

Unfortunately, once your return is submitted, you cannot change any information. Yes, if the bank rejects the deposit, it will be sent back to the IRS and they will then send out a paper check to you.
