In most cases, once the IRS has accepted your return, there's not much you can do. If the information you provided is for a closed or invalid account, the government will mail you a refund check.

What if I entered the wrong bank account for direct deposit

Need info from you regarding where my deposit is

If your tax return has already been accepted it is too late to change your bank information. See our FAQ regarding Entering the wrong direct deposit information.

Last year in most cases, many filing taxes received their refund in less than 3 weeks. Go to Where's my Refund to track your refund. Keep in mind, in an attempt to protect individual tax filers, the PATH act was put in place. This may be causing a slight delay for many tax filers. You can also contact the IRS directly for more information regarding the status of your refund.

@Doriemoore71 You can try calling the IRS, if your refund went to a incorrect account but you entered the correct information. What should happen is, the incorrect bank should reject the deposit and send it back to the IRS. The IRS would then issue a paper check and send it to the address listed on the tax return.
