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.
In the meantime, you can visit the following links for the most recent updates:
I filed taxes for 2019, but I owed money and so I don't know if it would have my direct deposit information for 2019 unless the system had me enter it anyway. I don't really remember. However, I have been using Turbo Tax for the last 5 years and my direct deposit info has always been the same for years I have received a refund. Is it possible they would use the direct deposit information from 2018 instead since I owed money for 2019?
Also, if I wanted to change my direct deposit account, is that possible so I can get the stimulus payment in a different account?
They will use your 2018 direct deposit information. If you want to change your information you will have to wait until the IRS creates their portal for people to update information.

To help everyone check on the status of their payments, the IRS is building a second new tool expected to be available for use by April 17. Get My Payment will provide people with the status of their payment, including the date their payment is scheduled to be deposited into their bank account or mailed to them.
An additional feature on Get My Payment will allow eligible people a chance to provide their bank account information so they can receive their payment more quickly rather than waiting for a paper check. This feature will be unavailable if the Economic Impact Payment has already been scheduled for delivery.

I should have gotten my stimulus check,so different situations,SAME OUTCOME,SHAME SHAME!! TURBOTAX!
If I went on the TruboTax portal I for got to put my bank account information
I filed a little earlier today. I chose to have the refund put on an existing card, but I just found out there is a huge fee for that. Is there any way to change it BEFORE it is accepted by the IRS to the recommended credit karma card?
If your refund is rejected, you will be able to change the refund method and receive a check.
The only way to avoid the Refund Processing Fee is to pay your Trubot Tax Fees upfront and to choose to have the IRS mail you a check. The link will provide more information.
