Are you asking about the 2019 refund or the 2020 refund or the Stimulus Checks?

You can only change it in Turbo Tax when you actually file your return which won't be until early January.  But then Turbo Tax will just hold all the returns until the IRS opens efiling around Jan 27.  For the Stimulus Checks the IRS hasn't put out any info yet on how to change the bank account numbers.

The IRS will not permit changes to banking information to mitigate the risk of fraud.  Here is their FAQ: 

 

 

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.
