Unfortunately, once your e-filed return has been accepted or you already mailed it, it's too late to change your refund method or change bank information.

If you put the wrong account number on your refund, the bank will reject the direct deposit and send it back to the IRS.  The IRS will then send you a paper check.  It takes up to 2 weeks to receive the check in the mail.

Once your return has been accepted (or mailed), it's too late to change direct deposit bank account information and choose to receive your refund on the Turbo Visa Debit Card. If the info you provided is for a closed or invalid account, the government will just mail you a refund check.

Please see this TurboTax FAQ for more information.
