After you file

@Mahmoud_1 You tried to PM with additional information.  Please keep all of your related information in this thread in the user forum or it becomes too confusing.   It seems your situation is complicated by some marriage issues----which we cannot give advice about.   However----the answer above is still the answer.    If your spouse's bank refuses the direct deposit, then the refund goes back to the IRS.   When the IRS issues a check, that check will have both of your names on it.   So your spouse will have the problem of having filed a joint return without your permission, and will be stuck with a check she cannot cash unless she forges your signature.   You may need to seek legal advice for this.
