If the bank rejects a direct deposit, the refund will go back to the IRS.  The IRS will create a paper check for your tax refund and mail it to the most up to date address they have on file for you. The best way for you to track your federal refund is to call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040. If you need further assistance, leave a comment below. https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3302459
