If you have not yet filed your return, please follow these steps to change your bank information for direct deposit of your refund:

  • Uncheck the box underneath the account info stating I want my refund deposited into this account. This very important. Make sure that this box is not checked.
  • Scroll down and click Continue.
  • A page will display that says, Let's get your bank account info.
  • Enter your new or updated account info you want your 2016 refund deposited into.

If you have already filed and your tax return has been accepted, you can no longer change the bank account information . If your return has been submitted and rejected then you are able to change the information, just follow the steps above. 

If the IRS is unable to deposit your refund into your account, they will mail you a refund check.
