2024 Tax refund was filed but my checking account routing number is wrong by one digit. I never got the money for the return, is there any way I could change it?

No, you cannot change it. The IRS does not allow you to change banking information after you file your tax return. If the refund goes to a wrong or closed account, it is sent back to the IRS and then the IRS issues a paper check and mails it to the address you used on your Form 1040.

Here is what the IRS says about entering incorrect banking information

If your refund is sent back to the IRS—- make certain that the address you entered on your Form 1040 is correct. And…open all mail, even if it looks like junk mail.
