If I put an "0" in front of my account number, will it affect my direct deposit?

Just to clarify, did you put the 0 in front of your bank account number?

 

  • If you e-filed:
  • Banking information for direct deposit is wrong
  • If you entered incorrect banking information for your refund, you can change it if your return is rejected.  If it is accepted, however, it is too late to change it.  The bank will reject the refund and send it back to the IRS.  Then the IRS will issue a paper check and mail it to the address you put on your tax return.  Expect a delay of at least a couple of weeks to receive your refund.

Here is what the IRS says about entering incorrect banking information.
