Per the IRS: "Refunds that are not direct deposited because of institutional refusal, erroneous account or routing transit numbers, closed accounts, bank mergers or any other reason are issued as paper checks, resulting in refund delays of up to ten weeks."

If the info you provided is for a closed or invalid account, the government will mail you a refund check.
