How can I change my refund from direct deposit to having a check mailed to my address?

If you have already filed, you cannot make a change. If the IRS is not able to deposit the check in your account, it will go back to them and they will mail you a check. It will add a couple weeks to receiving your refund.

If you have not yet filed and been accepted, follow these steps to change to a check:

  • 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.
  • You'll have the choice for in my bank* for direct deposit or paper check to receive in the mail
  • Select your choice and then hit continue at the bottom.
