Assuming the acct number you input doesn't belong to someone else's real account, the bank will bounce it back to IRS, who will then issue a refund check and mail it to the address on the return.

Lisa is right... Furthermore you may also want to call the bank, it doesn't hurt does it?

Your client may want to contact
the bank and let them know what happened. The routing number was correct?
