They will research it, and if the deposit was put into the wrong account they will debit the account it was put into and credit the account it was supposed to go into. It is important you fill out your deposit slip accurately because that is the record of where it should have gone. If that happens, all parties involved will be notified by the bank.

The bank will revert the transaction if the mistake was on their part. If the incorrect transfer happened because of the customers mistake in providing accurate account numbers, the bank would not revert the transaction.

If you owe money at a bank can they still seize funds if you deposit a check from someone who also holds an account there into your checking account at a different bank?

To clarify, I owe money at US Bank for a defaulted credit card with them. I have a TCF checking account. If I try to deposit a check made payable to me, and that check happens to be a US Bank check, can US Bank seize the check made payable to me even if I deposit it into my TCF checking account? Not sure if they will see that US Bank funds are made payable to me from someone else's account. Any insight would help! Thanks!

If the wrong electronic account number was submitted for direct deposit of your refund is the check then sent to you in the mail?

If the wrong electronic account number is submitted and it's an invalid number so it's rejected, the IRS issues you a paper check. If the wrong number is submitted and it's a valid number (it just isn't your account number), then the IRS has no way of knowing that, because it doesn't come back to them as rejected. In that case, it isn't the IRS' responsibility to track down the wrong account number and retrieve the deposit. It's your responsibility to talk to your bank so they can identify, according to the incorrect but valid routing code and account number, the bank and account that have your deposit.
