I need to add direct deposit to my refund

Once your return has been accepted (or mailed), it's too late to change from receiving a paper check and instead having it direct deposited into your bank. 

Now, if your recently e-filed return is in pending status, wait to see if it is either accepted or rejected.

  • If rejected, open your return in TurboTax and go through the File section again and ad your bank account before re-submitting your return with any applicable corrected information.
  • If accepted, you'll get your refund via a paper check.

If this inquiry is also about an anticipated economic recovery payment please see this FAQ from the IRS:

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.
