If you have not already filed: TurboTax will ask you for your direct deposit information under the File tab once you have completed and reviewed all of your tax information. To access or change your banking information in TurboTax Online you would go to the File section:
1. Select File in the upper right of the screen
2. Select the blue "Start Here" button next to "First, review your order"
3. Answer the asked interview questions
4. You will arrive at a screen asking for your bank account information
If you have already filed: Once your return has been accepted (or mailed), it's too late to change
your bank account for direct deposit. If the info you provided is for a closed
or invalid account, the government will just mail you a refund check.
And if the info you
entered happens to be someone else's account, don't worry – banks won't deposit
tax refunds into accounts where the names don't match up. You can contact your bank and alert
them that you have made an error in the account number.
You can review the
direct deposit account information you entered by looking on your printed
return. This will be found on your 1040 under the Refund section (look for line
76).
Now, if your recently-filed return is in pending status, wait until it's either accepted
or rejected.
- If rejected, simply open
your return in TurboTax and go through the File section again to
update your bank account before re-submitting your return (don't forget to
also take care of whatever problem caused the rejection).
- If accepted, you'll get
your refund check in the mail.
