Good evening. I recently filed my taxes using your service. I noticed that I put the wrong account number on my form. What can I do about that?

You can not change your bank account information after you have filed your return unless it gets rejected; if it is rejected, however, just log back in to your tax return and make any necessary corrections.  

If the IRS has already accepted it, they will first try transmitting your refund to the account you indicated on your return.  Once the bank rejects it back to the IRS, they will print a paper check and mail it to the mailing address you put on your tax return.  You can expect 6-8 weeks or longer before you get your check.
