The IRS will honor the direct deposit for the bank account that is entered on the tax return with few exceptions. It's never a guarantee on any tax return, but it's a rare occurrence when the direct deposit is not utilized when requested. It's preferred that a taxpayer should deposit into their own account, but it is not required.
