Right now, they issue refunds on Weds and Fridays. However, it can take your bank 1-5 days to record the deposit.

I have seen deposits every day of the week. Check the IRS site for the progress of your refund....

TT allows you to enter any routing & account number since they cannot possibly check to see it the number is correct or who is on the account ( that is way beyond the program's scope). So if he filed a separate return from you and his name is not on the bank account it is your bank that will reject the deposit, send it back to the IRS and then the refund will be converted to a mailed check to the address on the tax return.  This can add 3 weeks or more to the processing time.

Check the IRS site to see what is happening .... <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.irs.gov/Refunds">https://www.irs.gov/Refunds</a>

You may want to call the IRS because they won't put money in a account if the other person's name is not on the acct may end up sending you a check

Not now, as banks and the IRS are cracking down on  identity theft. Alss, any refund date that TT gives you is just an estimate.

They issue your return on Wednesday and Fridays. A max of 21 days after your return is accepted. Its quicker to have your return direct deposit.

Your bank will no allow the deposit to go into your account if your husbands name is not on the account also. The bank will reject the deposit and then your husband will have to wait for the funds to be sent back to the IRS and then they will issue him a paper check to be sent in the mail via USPS (Regular postal service). I only know this because my mother in law had this issue and luckily she added her fiance to the account before it was sent so there was no issue. The bank told her that all banking institutions work this way and will not allow deposits with out the receiving party being listed on the account because it would be a form or fraud and anyone could take someone elses money. Hope this helps someone avoid this from happening. I know this post is old but im sure someone else will have the same issue.

I have checks deposited to my husband's bank account all the time and my name is not on the account so this shouldn't be a problem.  However some banks may not allow this.  Check with your bank to find out.  Hope this helps! 🙂

I have had my joint tax refund deposited to my husband's bank account for the last 5 years and never had any issues.  The account is in his name only. I also have my checks deposited direct deposit into his account. However some banks may not allow this so maybe give yours a call.  Best wishes!

Only the IRS will know exactly when you will receive your refund. 

 

You can track your return by checking the Where's My Refund website located here

 

If you elected to have your fees deducted from your refund, the IRS will send your return to Santa Barbara Bank, where they will deduct the fees and then deposit any remaining refund into your account.
