When electronically or e-filing your tax return with an anticipated refund, make sure the bank account you designate for the direct deposit has your name on it.
My daughter does not have an account but opted to have her tax return direct deposited to our account. Unfortunately, the IRS would not do this and without notice to her, they snail mailed it to my daughter, who was not expecting this delivery method. It took an additional 5 weeks beyond when she was expecting the refund.

I used Taxact to do my nephew's taxes. He does not have an account, so opted to have the taxes deposited to his mom's account. Taxact asks whether the refund is being delivered in someone else's name. His funds were deposited with no problems. I have been doing this for 3 years.
