Is it possible to update using Turbo Tax?

your a/c won't be updated until the IRS opens e-filing in late January and your return is processed. the IRS does not have the means to update a/c's in the meantime.

it is not that they don't have the means; due to potential for fraud they do not permit it.

My bank account information has changed or was incorrect. Can I update it using the tool? (updated June 8, 2020)

No. To help protect against potential fraud, the tool does not allow people to change direct deposit information already on file with the IRS.

If we issue a direct deposit and the bank information is invalid or the bank account has been closed, the bank will reject the deposit. We will then mail your Payment as soon as possible to the address we have on file for you, and we will update Get My Payment to reflect the date your payment will be mailed. Typically, once the payment is mailed, it will take up to 14 days to receive the payment, standard mailing time.
