I missed a digit on my bank account number, so I have not received my deposit. What will the IRS do?

[DoninGA · Accepted solution]

When the bank refuses your tax refund direct deposit because of the incorrect account number, it is returned back to the IRS.  The IRS will then send a refund check in the mail to the address shown on your federal tax return.
