Wrong routing number but correct account number

[Richard]

It was correct today I am expecting to get refund feb 23 would this issue delay the refund? Has anyone experience this before?

Richard –

This happened to me last year. I submitted the correction right away, but unfortunately it does delay it quite a bit. The direct deposit will get rejected and the IRS and your state will mail you physical checks. Last year, I filed on 1/31, was told my deposit was coming my way on 2/10, was told my deposit was rejected on 3/1 and the actual check arrived around the end of March. I hope this helps. Good luck!
