Do not do that. The chances are highly likely that the bank would refuse the deposit and send it back to the IRS. Then the IRS has to issue and mail a check to you. That delays your refund by weeks. If you do not have a bank account then choose to have the refund mailed to you as a check. Or open a bank account somewhere locally and wait a little while to file your return.
