After you file

@DC1973 You did not mention how long ago the IRS says the refund was sent out.  If it went to a wrong account it should be sent back to the IRS and then they will mail you a check.  That can take several weeks.  Watch your mailbox and open all mail even if it looks like junk mail.   If you still have not received it after waiting for a few weeks, have it traced.

 

If you need to trace a payment that the IRS says has been issued to you, mail or fax a completed IRS Form 3911, Taxpayer Statement Regarding Refund
