Although there are no restrictions from the IRS forbidding you to deposit your taxes in someone else's account, it is not recommended. Most banks have fraud-prevention measures that will not allow direct deposits into an account with a different name. If your bank has these measures in place, they would reject the direct deposit. Although the IRS will eventually re-process the refund, it will take much longer than if you got a check or deposited it in an account bearing your name.
