I screwed up

[Dave T]

Will the IRS send a refund if the name on the return doesn't agree with the name on the bank account?

I do a return for a single woman and her three  grown children. 

She texts me to tell me that two of the three have received their refunds and one hasn't, can I please check the account that it was being sent to?  Not sure how I did it but I put the wrong account on the one son's return and  the problem is the account I used is the other brother's account.  My guess is that the IRS will just send him a check instead?

I don't know I did this other than not double checking the account numbers before submitting.  

Thanks for any input

It's up to the bank at this point. If the bank accepts it, it'll be in brother's account. If the bank rejects it, it'll go back to the IRS who will issue a check.

Hopefully the brothers get along!
