I put the wrong bank info on my taxes so the IRS got them check back. TurboTax sent me a email saying that IRS will be sending my check out in one two business days.

That was two weeks ago and I still haven't received a check

If you e-filed:

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
