wrong account number

Hello, a moment ago I sent my application to the IRS and they already accepted it but I put the wrong account number, how can I change it before the refund is made?

  If the bank rejects your deposit the IRS will mail a check to the address on your return.

Before sending the check, don't they ask for a new or different account number? I don't live in the US :(

Thank you so much!

No, if your bank information is wrong and your return has already been filed, there is no way to change that. 

 

The IRS will attempt to make the deposit. The bank will reject it because it won't match your information. The IRS will mail a paper check to the address on your tax return.
