You are not able to update your direct deposit information in TurboTax or with the IRS once you have filed your 2019 return. We are still waiting for IRS guidance regarding the direct deposit information for the stimulus payments. We will have more information once the government finalizes the details.

The best option is to make sure the mailing address the IRS has on file for you is correct. Please refer to Update My Information for more information. You can also stay updated by checking back on the following links.

The IRS tool to update direct deposit information is now live.  However, it only becomes available for an individual taxpayer once the IRS has entered that taxpayer's data into the tool to allow for this. 

 

You can check to see if you are able to update your information up to once per day here:  Get my Payment.

 

The IRS program is an attempt to get payments to some taxpayers via direct deposit if they are able to do so in order to expedite transfer of funds.  However, for those that the IRS cannot reach this way they will send checks, as they have under past programs, instead.  

 

The distribution of the funds is managed entirely by the IRS and the IRS site is the only way to manage any updates to your information.
