What If I EnterEd My Savings Account Information For A Checking Account?

The direct deposit will be put into the account that matches the routing and account numbers you entered. If you used the account number for your savings account, then that will be the account your refund is deposited to.

Many banks will make simple corrections when there is a minor error in this type of deposit.

If the refund can't be successfully deposited to the account you selected, the IRS may elect to mail a paper check instead.
