How do you change your direct deposit information after your taxes was accepted

[ChondelLO]

Once your return has been accepted (or mailed), it's too late to change your bank account for direct deposit.

If you haven't filed yet, you can still change your bank account info for direct deposit.

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

If the info you entered is someone else's account, don't worry – some banks won't deposit tax refunds into accounts where names don't match up. The best way for you to track your federal refund is to call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.

If your recently-filed return is in pending status, wait until it's either accepted or rejected.

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 re-submitting your return.

If accepted, you'll get your refund check in the mail.

Turbo Tax saved my bank account info incorrect and I didn't realize it until I already filed. I did receive my refund check in the mail but it took weeks. With the stimulus coming out I would really like to fix this info in my account so that I can get direct deposit of my stimulus check.

@misspeach616 Since you've already filed your tax return for this year, unfortunately, there is no way to update that banking information. If we don't have the correct banking information on file, more than likely you will receive a paper check in the mail. However, keep in mind that the details of how the stimulus checks will go out has not been made public yet.

Is it possible to add the banking information if it was not filled out and accepted?

Once the tax return has been filed and accepted the method of receiving the tax refund cannot be changed.

Is there anyway I can change my refund to direct deposit instead of paper check?

@prettyMarcie59 After filing your return, you are not able to change any banking preference or information.

If you have filed a 2019 tax return and need to change or add your direct deposit information, see this IRS website - https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/economic-impact-payments-what-you-need-to-know
The IRS does not have my direct deposit information. What can I do?
In the coming weeks, Treasury plans to develop a web-based portal for individuals to provide their banking information to the IRS online, so that individuals can receive payments immediately as opposed to checks in the mail.

My refund was sent to TurboTax. How can i get my stimulus check?

We are still waiting for IRS guidance regarding updating or providing direct deposit information for the stimulus payments and how they will be distributed to these type of accounts.

We will have more information once the government finalizes the details.
