I cannot change my direct deposit information. It is forcing me to choose a bank account that no longer exists, which I used last year.

Let me update my profile instead of forcing me into a tutorial that can't be escaped from

HOW TO CHANGE OR ENTER BANKING INFORMATION FOR REFUND

You cannot  change banking information while your return is in pending, nor can you change it after the return is accepted.  The IRS does not allow it.

@spar7an_oni   I had the same issue because prior to filing I also needed to update prior year saved direct deposit information for a refund and was searching for an answer. I happened to try the third option which I believe said Other Refund Options - I recall it said something about a paper check or split accounts under this choice - which seemed like the opposite of what I wanted BUT when I chose this option and continued through it brought me to another screen where it asked if I wanted to use my direct deposit from the prior year and here I was able to choose "No" and enter new banking info. Hope this helps.
