Check my direct deposit information

It can take up to 5 business days for your bank to deposit your tax return into your account. If the status in Where’s My Refund? shows “Refund Sent”, the IRS has sent your tax refund to your bank for direct deposit. If you don't receive it in after 5 business days, then you should contact your bank. 

@russel_montgomer If you selected direct deposit for your refund but received a check instead, there are a few things that can cause that change. According to the IRS' website: 

I requested a direct deposit refund. Why are you mailing it to me as a paper check?

There are three possible reasons. They are as follows:

• We can only deposit refunds electronically into accounts in your own name, your spouse's name or in a joint account.
• A financial institution may reject a direct deposit.
• We can’t deposit more than three electronic refunds into a single financial account.

The IRS will deposit your stimulus check to the bank account that you have listed. TurboTax shows XXXX on all direct deposit information for your protection and privacy.

Once your return has been accepted (or mailed), it's too late to change how you will receive your refund through TurboTax. If the information provided is for a closed or invalid account the government will mail you a refund check anyway.

Now, if your recently e-filed return is in pending status, wait to see if it is either accepted or rejected.

• If rejected, open your return in TurboTax and go through the File section again to update your bank account before re-submitting your return with any applicable corrected information.
• If accepted, you'll get your refund check in the mail or will be direct deposited if a valid bank account was listed when you filed.

If you have not e-filed or mailed your tax return already you can change how you want to receive your anticipated refund, go to the "File" section to make the change:

• Login to TurboTax and go into your tax timeline, select the File tab.
• There are three steps listed. Click on Start/Revisit next to Step 2.
• You'll have the choice for in my bank for direct deposit or paper check to receive in the mail, make sure the I want my refund deposited into this account box is unchecked.

If this question is also related to an estimated economic payment. We have not had guidance if you will be able to change/add information from the most recent direct deposit information that IRS may have for you and you may now need to update it. Please see this information regarding the economic impact payments.

If you have filed a 2019 tax return and need to change or add your direct deposit information, see this IRS website - https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/economic-impact-payments-what-you-need-to-know
The IRS does not have my direct deposit information. What can I do?
In the coming weeks, Treasury plans to develop a web-based portal for individuals to provide their banking information to the IRS online, so that individuals can receive payments immediately as opposed to checks in the mail.
