I purchased unlimited e-filing and another preparer in town using the same software does not e-file. For a small fee I e-filed three returns for her yesterday. The three returns were for the parents and their two children. They all wanted direct deposit. I mistakenly put the daughter's bank account # on the parent's return for direct deposit. They have the same bank. The parents are getting refunds which total over $2,500. Of course I recognized my mistake about two minutes after I e-filed the return! I called the local bank and they didn't seem to want to help much...and said the funds would most likely be deposit in the daughter's account. Do you think the people at the practitioner's hotline can change the account #s? I called the software vendor and they said the clients would most likely get a paper check a few weeks later because the account # will not match the SS#s on the account. Thanks.
