    If you have not e-filed or mailed your tax return already you can change how you want to receive your refund, go to the "File" section and enter/review/update to make the change:

    • Login to TurboTax your account and go into your tax timeline, select the File tab.
    • There are three steps listed. Click on Start/Revisit next to Step 2.
    • You'll have the choice for in my bank for direct deposit or paper check to receive in the mail, make sure the I want my refund deposited into this account box is unchecked.
    • Select paper check and then click continue at the bottom.  Please see this TurboTax FAQ for more information.

    Once your return has been accepted (or mailed), it's too late to change direct deposit bank account information. If the info you provided is for a closed or invalid account, the government will mail you a refund check. Now, if your recently e-filed return is in pending status, wait to see if it is either accepted or rejected.

    • If rejected, open your return in TurboTax and go through the File section again to update your bank account before re-submitting your return with any applicable corrected information.
    • If accepted, you'll get your refund check in the mail or will be direct deposited if you listed a valid bank account when you filed.

    Please see this TurboTax FAQ for more information.

    You will have to contact the IRS.

    How do I contact the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)? https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3301592

    I have 2019 TT Deluxe.  These instructions do not match the sequence/options that come up when I select the file tab.  I have been unable to find anything to help enter my direct deposit information - nor was I ever prompted to do so.  Please advise

    If you are using the TurboTax online editions and have a tax refund, in the File section of the program on Step 2 you are given several options on how to receive the tax refund.  One of those options is Direct Deposit.  On the following screen the program asks for your banking information.  See Screenshots.
