I just found out the hard way that you can no longer have your tax return deposited into someone else's account. I filed my taxes and both my daughter's taxes at the same time. Both of theirs were deposited into my youngest daughter's account, mine was supposed to be deposited into that same account but was sent back to the IRS to be mailed as a paper check. I called the bank and spoke to a representative there. She said the IRS will no longer let people direct deposit into someone else's account. I'm guessing because my daughters names are similar is the reason they both made it through, but I have a different last name. Anyway, FYI . . . . .

Once the return has been filed, there is no way to correct the direct deposit information that you provided to the IRS.

Obviously, this will delay your refund a bit, which I'm sure is not what you wanted to hear.
What happens when you get a Rapid Refund from say HR Block. Is that classified as a direct deposit or a check-by-mail?
HR Block will first lend you an amount equal to your anticipated refund minus fees. It will give you this loan in the form of a check or a prepaid debit card. You will sign a piece of paper authorizing HR Block (or its bank) to open a bank account in your name and you will give them power of attorney to make withdrawals from the bank account. HR Block will put down on your tax return that you want your refund direct deposited into the bank account that you just authorized them to open. The IRS will direct deposit your refund into the bank account. HR Block (or its bank) will then immediately withdraw your refund from the bank account and use the money to repay the loan they gave you earlier. If, for any reason, the IRS does not direct deposit your refund into the bank account or deposits less than expected, then HR Block (or its bank) will pursue you directly to repay the loan.
