Fed refund went into the wrong account

defray — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 23:56:46 GMT

I placed the wrong account number on my IRS form and it was direct deposited into someone else's account. The IRS is saying Chase has to send it back and Chase is saying that IRS must pull back the money. 10k. I contacted the bank account owner asking for her to return the money and she is doing nothing. I called Chase's Executive Office to no avail. Has anyone dealt with this before? What did you do and how long did it take to resolve. I am considering just filing a lawsuit against Chase. The name on the account clearly did not match the account that it was deposited into. Chase is claiming since it was an ACH deposit all they had was the number. Everyone is being so unresponsive. IRS has a trace on the money and says it could take up to four months. Anyone with a quicker solution.
