Did your return get accepted already? If so, are you able to view it here: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.irs.gov/refunds">https://www.irs.gov/refunds</a>

Yes they did, and the IRS is saying they can’t change the information. It was supposed to be deposited on Thursday but wasn’t because my account number was off by one number

They can't change it because it was already approved (posted) for a deposit date. However, they will have to issue you a paper check via mail now.
