Question

How can i make my amended tax return go through my bank account rather than the mail? I filed one W-2 form successfully, I need to add 2 more.

And the first W-2 form went through direct deposit. Will it be the same for the amended tax return?

An amended return must be filed by mail -- the IRS isn't set up to receive amended returns via electronic filing.

If you're due a refund on your amended return, the IRS will mail you a check.  A refund on an amended return can’t be deposited directly to your bank account.

If you owe an amount on your amended return, please see "Line 20—Amount You Owe" on page 16 of the IRS' Instructions for Form 1040X for the payment options available.
