When the IRS sends your Refund to an account you no longer have, the Bank will return the funds to the IRS.

 

The IRS will then mail you a check.

 

Here's more info from the IRS:

 

  • If the return hasn't already posted to our system, you can ask us to stop the direct deposit. You may call us toll-free at 800-829-1040, M - F, 7 a.m. - 7 p.m.
  • Generally, if the financial institution recovers the funds and returns them to the IRS, the IRS will send a paper refund check to your last known address on file with the IRS.
