[MariaC]

Have you already filed?

yes

[bryansomeillan]

but I don't feel safe my refund being deposited into that account any longer id rather have a paper check

[MariaC]

You may be able to call the IRS and see if they can stop the direct deposit. Otherwise, if the account closed, the IRS will issue you a paper check in the mail.

[bryansomeillan]

so how do I do it if I already filed

[MariaC]

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.

If you have NOT already filed, you can change from paper check to direct deposit by doing the following:

• When you log into your account and go back into your tax timeline, you should see the File tab at the end.
• There are three steps listed. Click on Start/Revisit next to Step 2. Then click on in my bank
• Once here, if there is an account listed that is incorrect or nor current MAKE SURE THE BOX UNDER THE ACCOUNT INFO IS UNCHECKED (will say"I want my refund deposited in this account")
• When you hit Let's get your banking info, it should take you to the next page which will allow you to update your information
• Once everything is entered in, click continue at the bottom and it should take you back to the three step page

*If it's not allowing you to select direct deposit, please consider the following article for more information. The IRS does have limitations with direct deposit: https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901662
