How do I change my refund method from "receive a check" to direct deposit?

This is for my state return (Illinois).  I want to print my state return and get my refund by direct deposit.  The return has the box checked to receive a check, and I can't find how to change it to direct deposit before printing and filing.

As long as you haven't filed yet, you can change to direct deposit by following these steps:

  1. Go to File.
  2. Select Start or Revisit next to Step 2 Your refund info.
  3. Select Other refund options on the Get your refund up to 5 days early screen.
  4. Choose Direct deposit and Continue.
  5. Enter your bank account info and Continue.
