Hello,

I filed my taxes with my who is now my ex.

he put his bank information into TurboTax instead of mine and the IRS is saying that I received my refund on February 16 and I did not, there is a different bank account number on TurboTax it isn’t even mine and I don’t even know his bank account information so I would like some help please. Is there a way I can put my bank information in to the taxes I filed 2021 in February please?

    Your post is confusing.   Were you still legally married as of the end of 2021?   Did you file a joint 2021 return with your now "ex" spouse?  Who prepared the tax return?    You cannot change banking information after you file the tax return.   If your ex changed the information and the refund went only to him, then you have a legal issue to discuss with your divorce attorney.   Neither the IRS nor TurboTax can help with a dispute you and your ex-spouse are having over your income tax refund.

    you may need to see a lawyer other than the one handling your marital situation.  on a joint return both spouses must consent to a joint filing. his changing info without your consent may be illegal even fraud.  but that's for a lawyer to determine.
