Best answer by

If you chose direct deposit for your federal return, the same is automatically applied to your state.

To change your banking information in Turbo Tax Online, you would go to the 'File' tab. Then:

  • Select 'File' in the upper right of the screen.
  • Select  the 'Revisit' button next to 'Your Refund Info'.
  • Answer the interview questions
  • You will arrive at a screen asking for your bank account information.
NOTE: You cannot change your banking information if you have already filed your return (unless it is rejected by the IRS).

It's telling me I can't. My fed has been accepted. It says something about file on paper , but I have no idea what that means. I've done this for years and have never had an issue
