If you entered the incorrect bank name, but entered the correct routing and account number you should be fine. Once your return has been accepted (or mailed), it's too late to change your bank account for direct deposit. 

If rejected, you can update your account and any issues that caused the rejection. Open your return in TurboTax and go through the File section again to update your bank account before resubmitting your return.

If the information you provided is for a closed or invalid account, the government will issue you a refund check via mail.
