After you file

"If you entered a valid (but incorrect) account number that doesn't belong to you, there's usually nothing to worry about. Most banks won't deposit tax refunds into accounts where the names don't match. You can try calling the IRS to stop the direct deposit if your return hasn't been posted to their system yet. For security reasons, the IRS can't re-route your refund to a different account, so you’ll get your refund via a paper check." 

 

ReferenceWhat if I entered the wrong bank account for direct deposit?
