As long as you haven't filed yet (or you e-filed but got rejected), you can simply step through the File section again to update your refund method. Once your return has been accepted (or mailed), it's too late to change your refund method.

To change to direct deposit:

  • Once you sign into your return, Click the File section, click Revisit in the Step 1 section.
  • Click View payment options at the bottom of the page.
  • You will be taken to the screen that asks how you want to pay for your return. 
  • Next move to Step 2.
  • On the How would you like to get your federal refund? screen, In my Bank should be selected.  Click Continue.
  • You will be able to enter your account number on the next screen, Let's get your bank account info.
