I need to change my federal refund to a paper check

[DoninGA]

Go to the File section of the program and in Step 2 you can request to have the refund sent to you as a check.

This assumes you have not yet filed the 2024 tax return.

Did you already e-file?  If you did NOT e-file you can go to the FILE section  step 2 to enter/change how you want to receive your refund.  If you want direct deposit you need the routing number and your own account number.

You cannot  change banking information while your return is in pending, nor can you change it after the return is accepted.  The IRS does not allow it.
