I need to change my direct deposit info because this is apparently how the stimulus is going through. I closed the account I used before

What do I have to do to change it even though I already filed my taxes this year?

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

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 to update your bank account before re-submitting your return with any applicable corrected information.
  • If accepted, you'll get your refund check in the mail or will be direct deposited if a valid bank account was listed when you filed.

Now, for the anticipated stimulus check the details are still being worked out by the government at this time. We do not have information on how or if you will be able to update direct deposit information. Once things are finalized we will be able to provide more guidance.
