Yes, if the direct deposit failed because the bank account declined to accept it, for whatever reason, the IRS will default to mailing a paper check to the mailing address on the return.

How long would the check take to mail?

It can take approximately 5 weeks for the IRS to process a paper check and send it to the address listed on your return. For additional information, please see this TurboTax FAQ: What if I entered the wrong bank account for direct deposit?
