No. Once the IRS has established the payment method it cannot be changed.
Too late ... once a mailing date is issued you cannot change ... you can try but I doubt you will be successful ...
If you enter your bank information in Get My Payment any day until noon on Tuesday, your payment date will be available beginning the following Saturday in Get My Payment.
If you enter your bank information after noon on Tuesday, your payment date should be available beginning the Saturday after next in Get My Payment.
There may be times when your payment may be sent by mail because the payment was already in process before the bank information was entered. If this is the case, then typically it will take up to 14 days to receive the payment (standard mailing time).
Where can I try?
It never gave me an option to choose direct deposit. When I filed my 2019 taxes with TurboTax I gave them my banking information and they took the payment out my account.
That is where I received the message that it will be mailed on May 04, 2020 with no option to choose direct deposit.

Since you tax payment has already been processed the IRS will not accept a Direct Deposit update for the stimulus payment.

A23. No, the IRS will not send Payments to accounts used to make a payment to the IRS. After you properly verify your identity, the Get My Payment tool will allow you to submit your bank account information i f your Payment has not been processed.
For the past two weeks I kept checking several times per week in the "Get My Payment" section, and I kept getting the error "Payment Status Not Available. And now today I checked again and it says "We scheduled your check to be mailed on May 01, 2020. Nowhere at any point did they ever even give me the option to input my bank account information.
Mine said they scheduled on may 1st 2020. What is the exact arrival date for my stimulus check?
Red Tantrum...Did you receive your $ yet? I have the mail date of May 4, today is 18th, nothing. No money, no letter.....
My status on the IRS Get Payment Page was "Your payment is scheduled to be mailed on 5/22/20." It is 6/10/20 and I have not received. What does the phrase "scheduled to be mailed" actually mean timewise? Another poster said they has a 5/4/20 status. I'd like to know when they actually physically received their payment. Thanks
Shaiya, did you ever receive your check? Same thing happened to me, just like you, I was never given the option to enter dd info.
Update.... its June 10th, I got the confirmation letter but NO check....
Someone may have took your check. I got my check, the letter came about a month after I received the check.
UPDATE - For lost in mail ....
If 4 weeks have passed from the mail date ...
I was able to speak with an IRS rep. Call [phone number removed], mute your phone, when the system asks for language preference, don't reply, wait... you will either be dropped or in the holding que. I waited 45 mins for a real live rep, not bad....The rep put a trace on the mailed ck, I was told either a check or paperwork would arrive in 6 weeks. 3 weeks into the wait, I went to "get my pmt" portal, and instead of the May 4 mail date, it now stated I qualified for the pmt and I was able to enter direct deposit info. Its my "guess" the tracer showed as uncashed and the system has a manual over ride for accepting dd info in certain scenarios.
