if you already filed there's nothing you can do but wait for a paper check from the IRS which will be sent to the address on the return. 2021 can not be e-filed.

Sorry.....the IRS does not allow you to change banking information after you file your tax return.   When the refund goes to the wrong or closed account, it will be sent back to the IRS and then the IRS will have to issue and mail a check to the address on your tax return.

 

Here is what the IRS says about entering incorrect banking information
