When I e-filed my taxes for 2025 I put the wrong routing number and wrong bank account number on the e-file, how do I fix this? My taxes have already been sent to the IRS

If you entered incorrect banking information for your refund, you can change it if your return is rejected. If it is accepted, however, it is too late to change it. The bank will reject the refund and send it back to the IRS.

You may get this notice— a cp53e notice

If you take NO action—-the IRS will freeze your refund for at least six weeks and then mail you a check.

If your refund is sent back to the IRS—- make certain that the address you entered on your Form 1040 is correct. And…open all mail, even if it looks like junk mail.

And……if you choose “refund processing” or the “5 day early” offer, those involve a third party bank; sadly, you will have a lot of additional aggravation in tracking down your refund and getting a check.

There may be another course of action if you have or are willing to create an account through ID.ME. Once established, you can access your account and on the profile tab, update this information
