Question

Refund went to wrong account. The account that my return went to did not have my name on it and I never got my refund. What do I do?

Not to worry. If you've already filed and your return has been accepted, it's too late to change your bank account information for direct deposit but since the info you provided is for a closed or invalid account and your name was also not on the account provided, your bank will return the refund to the IRS and the IRS will mail a refund check to the address provided in the return. Paper checks generally take anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks to arrive once sent out by the IRS.
