Yes. Here is the reasoning.
I.R.C. § 6402(a) authorizes the Service to credit or refund any overpayment of tax only to the "person who made the overpayment." The Internal Revenue Manual directs that refund checks are typically issued without taking the death of a taxpayer into account. A refund by a check or direct deposit - there is no difference.
