How do i change my direct deposit?

If you have filed your tax return it cannot be changed.

If you have not filed your tax return, you can still change your direct deposit information.  To update the bank information, follow the steps below:

1. Open or continue your return.
2. Select File.
3. Select Start or Revisit or Continue next to Step 2 Your refund/payment info.
4. Select See all options on the Get your refund screen
5. Choose Direct deposit and follow the onscreen instructions.

If you have already e-filed your return the direct deposit information can not be changed.

Click on choose other refund options and continue through the refund and payment screens. Eventually, after showing you that you qualify to pay for your fees with your refund,  it will ask if you want to use the old Direct Deposit and you choose NO, then enter then new information.

where you prompted to pay for the services before having the option to edit  ?

Yes, in the FILE section, after you have paid for TurboTax Online, you'll be asked how you want to receive your refund.  You can choose the same bank as last year, or use a different bank. 

Here's more info on Refund Options.

so unfortunately, it’s not that straightforward and simple. TurboTax actually adds an additional $40-processing fee, on top of your regular fees, if you do need to update your direct deposit information. Which is absolutely absurd! There must be a way to get it done without this extra $$ nonsense they are forcing upon anyone who needs to simply update banking details.

No, that is not correct.  Direct deposit information is NOT what that processing fee is for.  Did you choose to pay your TurboTax fees out of your Federal refund?  If so, that payment option is what is generating the $40 fee ($45 for California filers.)    To avoid that extra $40 fee you have to decline the "pay out of refund" offer and choose to pay upfront with credit/debit card instead.  So if you don't want that option, go back and pay by credit/debit card.

There is no extra fee to use direct deposit or to change the direct deposit info.

The deposit info can be updated using the steps below.  According to the FAQ below, it can be changed when on the  Get your refund up to 5 days early screen you choose "See All Options," and then choose Direct Deposit.

No, after you have filed the tax return the method of receiving the tax refund cannot be changed.
