I have no idea how this happened, maybe I was tired, but I accidentally put my wire number where my account number was supposed to be. I put the right routing number though. Now I was supposed to get my refund yesterday, does this mean I'm going to have to wait for a check, and if so how long will it take?

If the IRS (and State, if any) cannot deposit your refund to your account, then a paper check will be mailed to you.

Usually it takes around 4-6 weeks from your file date. 

You can refer to this TurboTax FAQ for complete information:
