When you file your 2025 return next year you can change it then. When will your divorce be final? You may have to file 2025 as Joint or MFS.
If your divorce is not final by the end of 2025, your filing choices for 2025 will be to file as married filing jointly or married filing separately. Or....if one of you has had custody of the children and you have lived apart for at least the last six months of 2025, that person may be able to file as Head of Household, while the other spouse files married filing separately.
If your divorce is final by the end of 2025, then you will each file Single---or one of you still might be eligible to file as Head of Household.
As for entering direct deposit information for your refund, that is done in the FILE section before you e-file.
Post back at the beginning of 2026 for help with your filing status if this is confusing.
