You can change Bank Accounts during the filling process.

 

  • When you've completed your tax return, and did the Federal Review, you will be ready to file it.
  • You will select File from the left in the Online version, or the top in Desktop.
  • There will be a series of questions in the interview.  This is for your security.
  • As you approach the finish line there will be an opportunity to retain an old Bank Account , or change to a new one.
  • This process will be available on both the Federal and on any State fillings.

I am unable to change the routing and checking account numbers.  Have tried several times.  Nothing works.  I am working on a Mac if that makes a difference.  I have used fn + delete key to backspace and nothing happens.

I'm not sure why you can't make a change, but it would be better to select a paper check than leaving an incorrect bank account number.

If your return was mailed or efiled and accepted then it is too late to change it.   If the bank rejects the deposit the IRS will mail a check to the address on your return.
