No. Hope for a reject.

Call the IRS ASAP and hope to catch them before the direct deposit is processed. The next best case scenario is for the bank to reject the deposit and for the IRS to issue a paper refund check. If the bank accepts the deposit or worse, if it gets into someone else' account, it could get more difficult to resolve as the IRS cannot not be held responsible.

and hope the bank bounces it back to IRS instead of depositing it in that wrong account number.

You may want your client to go to the bank and explain what happened, find out if that acct number you entered is valid or not, if its a non existent acct# it will bounce back, if it belongs to someone else...hopefully the bank is verifying the name on the direct deposit.
