The IRS will not change the account for a direct deposit, but you may be able to ask them to cancel the deposit and to mail a check instead if you reach them in time.
IRS: 800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Mon-Fri
Listen to each menu before making the selection.
First choose your language. Press 1 for English.
Then do not choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
Instead, press 2 for "personal income tax".
Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
Then press 3 "for all other questions."
Then press 2 "for all other questions." It should then transfer you to an agent, but there is likely to be a long wait.
I usually use a speakerphone so I can work on something else while waiting.
If you can't cancel the deposit, the IRS will attempt to deposit it in your bank, and if your bank refuses, it will go back to the IRS, who will issue you a check in the mail.
There is another scenario. If you chose to pay any fees out of your Federal refund, an intermediary bank is involved. The IRS will send the deposit initially to that intermediary bank where the fees are subtracted. Then that bank will try to make the deposit to your bank. If it fails, it will go back to the intermediary bank, and the intermediary bank would issue you the check by mail, less a $20 service fee. If you did not use that service to pay the fees, then this paragraph won't apply to you.

Once the tax return has been filed and accepted by the IRS the method or means to receive the federal tax refund cannot be changed.
If your bank information is incorrect the bank will reject the direct deposit of the refund. The refund is sent back to the IRS and the IRS will then mail the refund check to the address entered on the tax return.

If you are referring to the bank account for a direct deposit of a tax refund, once the tax return has been filed and accepted the bank information cannot be changed. If the information is incorrect the bank will refuse the deposit and send it back to the IRS. The IRS will send the tax refund as a check in the mail to the address entered on the tax return.
If you are referring to the bank information for the Advance Child Tax Credit then go to this IRS website and use Manage Payments - https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/advance-child-tax-credit-payments-in-2021

@Mknent You cannot change how you want to receive your refund after you file your tax return. If you gave the IRS banking information for a wrong or closed account, your refund will be sent back to the IRS and then the IRS will mail a check to the address on your tax return.
If this is about the monthly child tax credit payments---then use the portal on the IRS site to change your information. You cannot change it on the TurboTax site.

@BerniceAshley65 This public user forum is NOT the place to enter or post your banking information. Luckily for you the filter removed it so that identity thieves do not have it already. Do not post personal information on this public web site.
Did you already e-file? If you did NOT e-file you can go to the FILE section and change how you want to receive your refund. If you want direct deposit you need the routing number and your own account number.
You cannot change banking information while your return is in pending, nor can you change it after the return is accepted. The IRS does not allow it.
If you e-filed:
Banking information for direct deposit is wrong
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. Then the IRS will issue a paper check and mail it to the address you put on your tax return. Expect a delay of at least a couple of weeks to receive your refund.
Here is what the IRS says about entering incorrect banking information
