    Your post is unclear.  What do you mean by "it said it front refunded back to the irs"?  

     

    My guess is that your refund went to a wrong or closed bank account and was sent  back to the IRS---is that correct?

     

     

    Banking information for direct deposit is wrong or closed

    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

    If your refund is sent back to the IRS—- make certain that the address you entered on your Form 1040 is correct.  And…open all mail, even if it looks like junk mail.
