First, if you e-filed, wait until your return is accepted or rejected by government.

If your return is rejected, correct the account information (along with anything else that needs to be corrected for e-filing) and then re-submit your return.
- To correct your bank information, simply open your return in TurboTax, click File, and walk through the screens again.
On the other hand, if your return has already been accepted (or you already mailed it), the IRS will send you a check refund instead.

What if the account information I entered is valid, but for somebody else's account?

The good news is that most banks have systems in place that prevents money from being deposited into accounts bearing a different name.

Even so, it would be good idea to call the IRS at 800-829-1040 as soon as you realize your mistake. Also notify your state tax agency if you're getting your state refund direct-deposited.
