Tax Refund

So we waited and waited for all of our tax statements to get to us. Once we finally got all of our statements we filed our taxes right away so we could get our refund sooner than later. We filed on February 22nd and the IRS said they deposited our refund in our bank on March 5th. So we waited and waited for our money to show up and it never did. We called the bank and the IRS to see if they could help us. At first the bank said they couldn't do anything and we just had to wait but our second call to the bank was more helpful...they actually looked it up and said they hadn't actually recieved it from the IRS. When we called the IRS we waited for like 20 minutes before someone could actually talk to us. All of our information was right when we talked with the IRS...they had the right routing number and account number and everything. So they told us that they would have to send us a paper to sign saying we didn't recieve our refund which would take 7-10 days and then once they recieved it back they would check to make sure we still haven't gotten our money and if we haven't they would send it straight to us which would take 6 or more weeks! So much for filing as soon as possible. But Ryan figured out last Saturday that we gave them the wrong account number....we gave them our whole card number instead of the 8 middle numbers that are our actual account number. LAME! So we still might get our refund before the IRS paper goes through but we still need to call the IRS again and see if they can fix it so we can get it sooner than the 6 or more weeks. We just want our money!
