Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Iowa

Taxpayer filed MFJ in 2008. The account number listed was for the spouse. In 2009, taxpayer got divorced and filed as single. The 2009 return was filed; however the account information was not changed and was still for the ex-wife's account. The return was rejected because of disallowance of the home-buyer's credit. Taxpayer paid the balance due after the rejection. An amended return was then filed for the credit and approved; however, the refund was direct deposited rather than a paper check issued. IRS claims a math error was made on the original return; therefore, they could direct deposit rather than issue a paper check. Ex-wife is balking at returning the refund to taxpayer. What recourse does he have?
