Using someone else's bank account for your refund is a really bad idea.   The bank will refuse the deposit and send it back to the IRS.   Then your refund will be delayed for weeks while the IRS issues and mails a check to the address on your tax return.

 

You would be better off to just choose to have a check mailed to you when you make your choice in the FILE section.

The last day to file is April 15th unless you file an extension, then you have until October 15th to file your return, but any tax due is still due by April 15th.

No, you cannot direct your refund to someone else’s account
