Hi all, I saw this in a closed question, but i didn't know if it was resolved. My preparer put a different bank of america routing number than the one I gave them on my return for e-file. I called Bank of America and they sid it should get rejected. the "Wheres my refund" website just says it was deposited on march 2nd. I called today and the girl told me to fill out a form 3911 but that seems to be for "lost" payment which this isn't necessarily. It seems most websites say to just wait and i'll get a paper check but will the "Where's my refund" page change? How long should I expect? Thanks in advance I just don't want to do anything wrong here and screw up this more.

You should be receiving your refund by check if the routing number was incorrect on your return.
The direct deposit will be rejected back to the IRS and their system will issue a paper check to the address that is shown on the return.
You should see the check within 3 weeks of the direct deposit date

The "Where's My Refund" link told you the deposit was sent. If there is no account with the routing and account numbers with your name on it, the deposit will be rejected.
When the rejected deposit comes back to the IRS, they will cut you a check and mail it. It will take one week from the date they receive the reject notice to produce the check and mail it. So, wait two weeks, and if your check doesn't arrive, then fill out the form for the lost deposit.

The deposit will be bounced back to the IRS. It may take a few days for the IRS system to reflect that status. Your refund will then be queued for a paper check. You should receive it within 2 - 4 weeks.

I would fill out the form & hope for the best. If the name associated with the account/routing number given for direct deposit do not match, the IRS will withhold the payment and issue a paper check. It may take 3-4 more weeks, thats usually how long it takes the IRS to process/print a paper check.

You should fill out the form, since the deposit was lost.
