Can turbo tax re-routed my refund so that it can be deposited into my checking account?

Why did my refund get rejected by my vanilla and get sent back to turbo tax?

If your bank rejects the direct deposit, the IRS will send you a paper check automatically.  They'll send it to the address on your tax return and there is no way to change that after filing.

Your tax refund did not get sent to TurboTax.  TurboTax never touches your tax refund.

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

Did you ask to have TT fees deducted from it?
