Sending your refund to someone else's bank account is a really bad idea. If your name is not on the account, the bank will refuse the deposit and send it back. Then a paper check has to be issued and mailed to the address on your tax return--delaying your refund for weeks. You would be better off to just allow the IRS to issue a check and mail it to you in the first place---then deal with depositing or cashing the check.
