Once your return has been accepted (or mailed), it's too late to change your bank account for direct deposit. If the information you provided is for a closed or invalid account, the government will issue you a refund check via mail. 

However, if your return hasn't already posted to the IRS's system, you can ask them to stop the direct deposit. You may call them toll-free at 800-829-1040, Monday - Friday, 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. 

Please see FAQ, for more information below: https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3302459

It is too late to make any changes to direct deposit if your return has been accepted.. Please know that If your refund was sent to a bank account under someone else’s name, or you entered the wrong account or wrong routing number, your refund will be rejected by the bank and will be returned to the IRS.  You will eventually receive a paper check from the IRS, mailed to the address you entered on your return. 

Expect that to delay your refund by at least another two weeks or more. You may want to contact your banking providing for further assistance. Or you can also contact your local IRS office.

I have accidentally put in the wrong account number for my return. How do i change this?

On February 2-26-2020 I was Supposed to receive my Texas when the February 26, 2020 came I realize I didn’t put all the numbers in when I didn’t receive the money in my account on the 26th the day I was expecting my Texas. I’ll check the Irs System and they said a check was made to me but I didn’t get the check deposited into my account because it was rejected by the bank. I File my tax’s With TurboTax. So I had to call the Santa Barbara bank and put in my information. And it’s help me when  the IRS Has sent them my refund. I didn’t get them on the February 26, 2020 but I receive them on March 3-7-2020 In the mail so it’s at like 10 days total including the weekend.

If you have put the wrong account number, the IRS will attempt to direct deposit your refund on your direct deposit date. If the account number is incorrect it will then be routed back to the IRS and they will issue you a check in the mail. 

 

You can attempt to contact the IRS to see if there is anything they can do about this by following the instructions here
