I efiled using HR BLOCK's free federal preparation and opted for direct deposit, but into my fiancee's account since I don't have one. Now I read that the IRS generally won't do that unless its a joint return or other reasons and I am wondering what will happen now. Will they send me a check or some kind of letter saying it couldn't be deposited into an account that is not my own? CRAP! And how much longer of a wait are we talking here?

The bank may or may not accept it; it's primarily up to the bank. If the bank bounces the transaction it will take several weeks to get a check cut by the IRS. This happened to a friend last year, he used the account number of a closed account by mistake. It took him about 10 weeks to get his refund.

I am having the same problem. Earlier this week, Irs.gov stated that my refund is scheduled to be deposited on January 28, 2011. This morning, the website says that it WAS deposited on January 28, 2011. Both yesterday and this morning, I called my bank, which is a local credit union, and they state that there is nothing pending and they have not received it yet. Very frustrating!!! I have bills that I need to pay. I live in the South. I e-filed with Turbo Tax on 1/18/11, and it was accepted by the IRS same day. I bank with a local credit union. Two of my friends received theirs yesterday, but I'm not sure if they used Turbo Tax. I know they do not share the same bank as me.

I've done returns and had them directly deposited into accounts that did not belong to the client. I'm always sure to ask for a voided check because that is what will be looked for first. I don't see why it will be a problem.
The E-File usually takes 8-15 days to be directly deposited.

they might deposit it. one solution would be to quickly add your name to that account, assuming fiancee really loves you haha. If they end up mailing you a check, it's not much longer of a wait. irs and hr block overplay the speed of electronic to get people to file that way.

It might get deposited anyway. If it doesn't, will take about an extra week and a half.
