Filed and used the wrong bank routing number.

Tax Refund/ E-File Status Question

My bank has two routing numbers, one for checking, one for savings. I only have a checking account, and when I googled the #, I f'ed up and used the savings #. DD bounced and I figured it would be a mess to try and fix.

Surprisingly, the IRS now lets you update your bank information online without a form sent in. I updated about 5 days ago, deposit hit this morning.
