No. I am pretty sure the IRS requires the deposit name to match the name on the tax return.
You can call to make sure, but I think I read that somewhere.

From the IRS official website:
Taxpayers generally cannot directly deposit their refunds into someone else’s account. However, in the case of a joint refund, taxpayers can designate deposits to a joint account or to an account controlled by a spouse. For example, the IRS will deposit a joint refund into an individual retirement arrangement (IRA) owned by one spouse, if the financial institution accepts direct deposits for IRAs and will accept a joint refund to an account of only one spouse.

No unless your name is on their bank account. Check out www.irs.gov for answers.
